How to Find the Number of a WhatsApp Caller When Not in Your Contact List

WhatsApp is a popular messaging app that allows you to communicate with friends and family. However, what if someone initiates a video call to you, but their number is not in your contact list? In this article, we will guide you through the process of finding the caller's number using the call log. Whether you are using the WhatsApp app or your device's default call log, we will walk you through the steps.

Steps to Find the Number Using WhatsApp

Launch the app on your device.

Tap on the Phone icon.

Scroll through the call log to find the entry for the video call. It should show the incoming call with the time and date.

Once you find the call entry, tapping on it may provide additional options, including the ability to see the number if it's not already displayed.

If the number is visible, save it to your contacts for future reference.

For further assistance, you can also check your phone's default call log through the phone app. Although the call log may not display the number directly, you can usually find the number listed under recent calls.

Additional Tips for Finding the Caller's Number

For those who are interested in finding the number of a caller who video called but is not in your contact list, there are two additional methods to consider.

Method One: Video Call Indicators

If someone video calls you and you do not recognize the number, the call will be added to the "Chats" section under an "Unknown Number" entry. WhatsApp may also notify you if the caller is someone you know, or if they could be a spam call, in which case you can report them. You can get the number by tapping on this entry in the chat section.

Method Two: Call History

If the call or video call is listed in the call history, you can easily find the number there as well. This is the second method that may seem a bit unusual, but it still provides a straightforward way to find the number.

While these steps provide detailed guidance on how to find the number of a WhatsApp caller, it's worth noting that the process can vary slightly depending on your device and WhatsApp version.

Conclusion:

No matter the method you use, it is essential to maintain privacy and security when using your smartphone and messaging apps. Always be cautious and cautious when interacting with unknown numbers, especially if they are contacting you out of the blue.
