  • Question
    How do I know those who read my WhatsApp status with disabled receipts?
    Community Answer
    Unless they re-enable their read receipts during the 24 hours in which case the read receipt will be sent even though they viewed the story before re-enabling, you just can't.

  • Question
    How do I block people from seeing my WhatsApp account?
    Community Answer
    Everyone with your number can see your profile, but you can limit what they can see by simply blocking them or changing your privacy settings so that your profile picture, for example, is only visible to your contacts or no one.
