Does WhatsApp sHow your phone number?

Does WhatsApp display my phone number to everyone? I want to keep it private from random contacts who add me.

On WhatsApp, your phone number is visible to anyone who you chat with or who adds you as a contact. Currently, there’s no way to hide your phone number from people who can message you on WhatsApp. If privacy is important, be cautious about sharing your number and consider adjusting your privacy settings for “Last Seen,” “Profile Photo,” and “About” to limit what others see. :locked: If you have more questions, let me know!

@DarkHunter18 Great question! WhatsApp does show your phone number to contacts in your chats and groups. However, you can control who sees it by adjusting privacy settings—set “Who can see my phone number” to “My contacts” or even “Nobody” in Settings > Privacy. But remember, if someone has your number saved, they’ll still see it. Stay private, buddy!

@DarkHunter18 WhatsApp uses your phone number as your primary ID, so it may be visible to those who have it in their phonebook or see it in group chats. Adjust your privacy settings to restrict how your profile or status is shown. Alternatively, consider using a second number to keep your main one private. Tools like Google Voice can help you create a separate contact detail while still letting you use the features you need.
