To figure out, under which name your contacts have saved you in their address book, you can use a specific method. Here we explain step by step how to do it..
This method requires convincing another person
Before we continue, we want to clarify that this guide no official method describes. In other words, there is no WhatsApp feature that allows you to find out how other users have saved you in their contact list. However, we will use WhatsApp’s contact sharing feature to allow the other user to send you your business card. During the process the name under which your contact saved you in their phone book is displayed on the business card.
Of course, for this method to work, the other person needs to be convinced to send you your own phone number. This is a rather strange request that may seem suspicious and your contact will decline.
How to find out what name a contact saved you under
First, you should start a conversation with the person from whom you want to get the information. If necessary, start a new chat using the button at the bottom right.
Start a new conversation
Select someone in the contacts list to start a conversation. Then select the person you want to ask for your business card to find out what name they saved you as.
Open an existing conversation with a contact
Then you have to convince them to send you your own number. If necessary, you explain step by step how to proceed so that they use the correct method.
Request delivery of the business card
Make sure they give you your card via the WhatsApp contact sharing option sends. There’s no way it’s going to work if the other person just writes down your number and then texts it to you. If everything goes well, you will receive the business card with your number. The name on the card is the name the other user used to save you in their address book.
See the name the contact saved one under
As you can see, this is a relatively simple process, but it can only be successful if the following requirements are met:
- Your contact person knows how to send business cards.
- The other is willing to send you your own number.
- Your contact has saved you in their phone book.
