The trick of WhatsApp to know with what name they have saved you in the contacts
The WhatsApp trick is simple and you just have to follow the following steps. The first thing is to open the app on your mobile device and enter the conversation of the person you would like to find out. Here comes a bit of social engineering: you should ask your contact to share your own phone number .
Of course, you must do it from the option of share that is in the WhatsApp application itself. This is achieved by entering the profile and clicking the three-dot menu in the upper right corner. When it does, you will receive the contact card, with your own number but also with the name with which they have saved you.
In addition to the name or number, there are other important information that is saved in these contact cards. Including the profile photo – if there is one stored – and any other data that the person chooses to share with you.
Although it is true that the trick is not automatic, and that it requires interaction on the part of the person, once you have asked to share your own phone number, you will be able to find out how they saved you and get out of curiosity . Especially considering that it is common for people to use nicknames or short names , such as “dad”, “mom” or some nice pseudonym for the couple.
