Restricting people from viewing your WhatsApp status
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported how to restrict people from viewing your status on WhatsApp for iPhone and Android.
There are two ways to restrict someone from your contact list from viewing your WhatsApp updates. One is to exclude specific contacts from those who can see your status updates, and the other is to include the contacts you choose to view your status.
You cannot know who views your WhatsApp secretly, as people who view your WhatsApp status will always appear on your view list. Additionally, to know who viewed your status, you and the person viewing it must have your read receipts enabled.
