We all know that WhatsApp is a popular instant messaging platform that is being used for professional & personal purposes. Not every time, but sometimes you don’t want someone to see your WhatsApp DP or from unknown contacts.
WhatsApp has so many features about privacy that you can simply set up from your WhatsApp privacy settings, hiding your WhatsApp profile picture is one of them.
Why should you hide your WhatsApp Profile Pic?
WhatsApp profile photos can be easily saved by other WhatsApp users just by taking screenshots if you don’t hide them. There might be a time when you call someone from your phone & they save your contact numbers, now your WhatsApp DP will be visible to them.
So it’s necessary to hide your WhatsApp photo from certain people who are not on your contact list. If you don’t hide it, anyone can see your WhatsApp DP and save it to their phone gallery.
