Preliminary information
Before going into the merits of the subject, let me make some necessary clarifications: let's start immediately by saying that if you are looking for app to see who visits your WhatsApp profile from your smartphone or a program to see who visits your WhatsApp profile to use on your PC, I have no good news to give you. In fact, there are no such solutions.
For obvious questions related to user privacy, WhatsApp does not allow you to identify who is viewing the photo or other details of your profile and, indeed, the solutions that promise to perform these operations - which are easy to come across online - are often malicious, as they hide scams and / or malware.
In this regard, I invite you to do beware of scams and, in particular, to be wary of those apps or websites that promise to let people know who visits your WhatsApp profile. These services hide real cyber traps, which can seriously jeopardize your security and privacy.
I recommend: never download apps of this type (and in general avoid APK packages from poorly accredited sources) and do not enter your mobile number on websites with dubious reliability. If for some reason you suspect that your WhatsApp profile is in danger (perhaps because you downloaded one of the apps I told you about earlier), immediately send a report to the WhatsApp help center.
That said, I also have some good news to give you: specifically, even if you can't trace the exact identity of those who view certain information on your WhatsApp profile, such as yours. Last Access, the information or l 'profile picture, you can still specify who you want to see them.
Furthermore, as I will explain in the next chapters, you can see the names of the users who have viewed the photos and videos you have published in the State of WhatsApp. Read on to learn more.
