You're added to a WhatsApp group with strangers, and suddenly anyone in that chat can see your phone number—and message you directly, even outside the group. You try to find a setting to hide it, but nothing seems to exist. The video investigates whether WhatsApp actually has a phone number privacy feature, comparing it directly to Telegram (which does offer this option). After digging through the privacy menu, the conclusion is stark: WhatsApp currently has no built-in way to hide your number from other users. But why would a messaging app that handles billions of messages every day leave out such a basic privacy control? The video explores the only workaround that comes close, though it comes with major trade-offs in functionality. Is there a way to use WhatsApp without broadcasting your number to every group member, or are you simply stuck until an update arrives? Watch until the end to find out what your real options are.
