A new trick has been discovered on the popular instant messaging app WhatsApp, allowing users to track the exact location of another person without their knowledge. This function, which has sparked discussion online about a supposed ‘mode for infidels,’ can be accessed through a series of steps on WhatsApp Web.
To use this feature, users must first log into WhatsApp Web and keep it running in the background on their computer. By pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del on the keyboard, users can access the task manager without closing the session. Opening the run function by pressing Win + R and typing ‘cmd’ will bring up a command prompt where users can enter ‘netstat -an’ to reveal an IP address close to the other person’s location. By entering this IP address into the Ipaddress.com web portal, users can find a location close to the other user.
While some have referred to this as a ‘cheat mode’ on WhatsApp, it is important to note that the app did not create this function for unfaithful individuals. Instead, the ‘mode for infidels’ is a method for duplicating the app on a phone, allowing users to have parallel conversations with others. By registering a separate account with a different number, users can operate two WhatsApp accounts on the same device.
This trick does not require downloading third-party applications, as it relies on a function present in devices with Android 10 or later versions. By updating WhatsApp and Android, accessing the ‘Dual Messenger’ function in the phone settings, activating the WhatsApp option, and registering a new account, users can access this feature.
Overall, while these tricks and functions may be interesting for some users, it is essential to use them responsibly and with respect for others’ privacy.
