How to Know Who Viewed Your WhatsApp Profile Today?


WhatsApp has always been users’ favorite when it comes to instant messaging. WhatsApp is now different than what it was until some time back. Especially afterFacebook bought WhatsApp, we have witnessed several changes in the app. WhatsApp now allows you to hide your last seen; it introduced a new feature that lets you know if the receiver has read your message or not, it now allows you to make calls to your WhatsApp friends and so may other tweaks which improve your overall WhatsApp experience.
On AhemAhem, we’ve an article on WhatsApp tricks covering over 15 tips to improve your WhatsApp experience. On the same post, we were asked if there’s a way to know who’s viewing our WhatsApp profile. Like them if you’re also eager to know who checked your WhatsApp profile, who’s constantly spying on you by checking your profile photo or your WhatsApp status, who’s looking up your profile again and again repeatedly or in short to find which WhatsApp users are interested in you, this short guide is for you.
Remember, this isn’t an official feature. The original WhatsApp application doesn’t support it and as far as I can get from WhatsApp forums and support, the team is in no mood to add this feature anytime soon since it violates the privacy of its users. But that shouldn’t upset you because some developers still think it’s a feature much needed by WhatsApp, and therefore, we’ve this app named WhatsApp – Who Viewed Me developed by someone who paid heed to a lot of people wanting to find if someone is spying them and if yes, who?
This app isn’t present on the Google Play Store. It used to be there but was taken down. However, you can
download it from 1mobile. Check Update 3 (Ctrl+F or go to the bottom of this write up)

Who Visited My WhatsApp Profile?

Who Viewed Me

As you might have already guessed, WhatsApp — Who Viewed Me? Is an Android app that enables you to perform a quick check on visited your WhatsApp profile today or in the last few days. You can also find out who views your WhatsApp frequently. It’s no longer difficult to find the contacts who’re impressed by your statuses or profile pictures and who keep coming back again and again.
Quick Tip: The person checking out your profile frequently may simply be spying on you and might not be in love with you!
It’s very easy to use this app.
1. Just download it from the link given above. You might be forced to install the 1mobile app market on your device. Do it since you don’t have the option to bypass it right now. However, you can uninstall it later on.
2. You might want to enable installation of Android apps from unknown sources before installing this app. So, go to Settings -> Security -> Under Device Administration, check Unknown Sources.
3. Now install the app and run it.
4. Hit the big green colored Scan button.
how to find who viewed my whatsapp profile today
Wait for a few seconds while it scans all your contacts to find out who viewed your WhatsApp profile today. Once it has examined all your contacts, it will show a complete list of all the users who’ve visited your profile on WhatsApp that day. In my case, it only shows a single name. That hit me hard, ohhh! No one’s stalking me it seems.
This app is completely free to use, however, please don’t use it for any illicit purposes. It currently doesn’t have a premium version, so we cannot guarantee how long this app will be developed. For now, it supports all Android 2.3+ smartphones with WhatsApp installed in them and an active internet connection.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a similar app for other platforms (iOS, Windows or BlackBerry). There was news on an application available for Jailbreaked iOS devices, but it failed to work for us when we tried to test it. We will update this post as soon as we find an app that works on devices apart from Android allows you to find who’s spying you on WhatsApp.
Update 1: The app misses out on several profiles. I tried to find who viewed my WhatsApp profile a minute back. I purposely visited my profile from 4 phones but, unfortunately, the app couldn’t detect even one of them. Maybe it takes time to update the results, or the app is fake. I’ll post another update soon.
Update 2: Well, a year down the line, the app still functions like it previously did. By that I mean, it’s a fake, and it does not show the names of people who recently checked your WhatsApp profile, but rather shows some random name. So to avoid creating misunderstandings, refrain from using this app. I’ll update this post when I’ve a better way to find who’s stalking you/me.
Update 3: The developer has deleted the application from 1mobile. We didn’t bother to find it’s duplicate since the application didn’t work as desired in our recent tests and is possibly a fake.
Update 4: It’s a fake. Confirmed. For those who are waiting for an alternative to this application, I suggest you to not do so. I do not think WhatsApp will ever implement this in their app and the possibility of an external developer developing a similar app that actually works is difficult since WhatsApp’s security/privacy mechanism is strong enough and no one so far has been able to break it. I suggest you to give up on this. I am sorry.

WRevealer : 

WRevealer is another app which allows you to find out who’s stalking you on WhatsApp. Unlike most apps which are first available on Android, this application is available on jailbreaked iOS devices. I haven’t tried it yet (09/01/16). I will try it the coming weekend and update the result here.
