WhatsApp doesn’t offer a specific function to check who has your contact saved, but there is a trick that can help you find out who in your contact list has your number. Although it’s not a foolproof method, this trick can give you some clues about who among your contacts has your number registered.
The process differs slightly between Android and iPhone devices. For Android users, simply click on the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the WhatsApp home screen. Next, you must choose the “New Shipping List” option. For those using an iPhone, the process also starts at the three points, where you must click on “Select Conversations” to start the process.
Then, create a contact list with the number you want to check and add a trusted contact (a friend or relative who definitely has your number saved). The next step is to send a message to this list, which can be a bit of a tedious task. After some time, notice the check marks next to the sent message.
According to , if the message has two gray check marks, it means it has been delivered but not yet read. Two blue ticks indicate that the message was read, while a single gray tick means the message was not delivered. If the message is not delivered, this may suggest that the contact does not have your number saved.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the trick works best when used with contacts with whom you have more frequent communication. If the person in question has configured WhatsApp to not show read marks or uses strict privacy settings such as blocking read receipts, the method may not provide clear answers. It is also possible that the recipient has the number saved but has not read the message, or even that WhatsApp has temporary technical problems that affect the delivery and reading of messages. Therefore, while the tip can help clear up some doubts, it is not 100% infallible.
