The WhatsApp status is uploaded by users and disappears in 24 hours, just like the Instagram story.

Here, we have explained how to know who viewed your WhatsApp profile and status.

WhatsApp users can send and read messages. In addition, you can also see who read your messages.

The WhatsApp blue tick seen in a chat means that a receiver has seen and read your message.

The grey tick on the other hand means the message has been seen but not delivered.

However, in some cases, the grey tick remains unchanged even after the receiver has read it.

This is the case when the other person has their read receipts off.

In the same vein, if you have not enabled read receipts, you won’t be able to know either.

You can also add a status on WhatsApp. Only users that you both have your contacts saved can view it.

WhatsApp status works very similarly to an Instagram story.

Once uploaded, it stays visible to users for up to 24 hours. During this period, you will be able to see who viewed it.

Below, we have explained explicitly, how you can see or know who viewed your WhatsApp profile or status.

Commonly Asked Questions on WhatsApp profile

Can someone tell if you view their WhatsApp profile?

Unfortunately, people cannot know if you view their WhatsApp profile, the same way you cannot know when they view yours.

However, when you view a status, the user that uploaded the status will know you have seen it as long as their read receipt is enabled.

Also, you will be able to see their names from your status viewer’s list.

The list of WhatsApp status viewers for a post can be seen by tapping on the eye icon under the particular post.
