“Is Someone Spying on Your WhatsApp? Here’s How to Find Out”
It’s a common concern for many WhatsApp users – how do you know if someone is spying on your messages? With the app’s web version allowing access from multiple devices, it’s important to know the signs of potential spying.
While WhatsApp itself doesn’t have a function that alerts you to someone viewing your messages, there are some clues you can look for. According to Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, there are tools such as reading notifications, passwords, and login alerts that can help detect if someone is spying on your messages.
One of the first steps is to check for unrecognized active sessions in the app. By going to Settings > Linked devices, you can review active sessions and your last connection. If you see a session that you don’t recognize, it’s a red flag that someone may be spying on your messages and has access to your login.
Another sign of potential spying is finding messages marked as read that you never actually opened. This could indicate that someone has accessed your account from WhatsApp Web on another device, or that someone had physical access to your phone and read your messages.
While these clues are not definitive proof of spying, they can give you an indication that someone may be accessing your messages without your knowledge.
