Why is Someone Stalking Me via WhatsApp?

The reasons why people resort to stalking others through WhatsApp vary from individual to individual so there is no real answer. WhatsApp is appealing to stalkers because obtaining a person’s phone number is one of the most effective ways to keep in contact with them and ultimately harass them. 

Another appealing feature is that it is available to iPhone and Android users and it’s completely free which also allows its users to text anyone even if they reside outside of the U.S. Whatever the underlying reasons for stalking are, it is imperative to remember that there are no excuses for such behavior and it should never be tolerated.

How to Report WhatsApp Stalking?

Follow these simple steps to report any abuse you receive on WhatsApp.

Report a contact:

  1. Open the chat with the user you wish to report.
  2. Tap More options > More > Report.
  3. Check the box if you would like to also block the user and delete messages in the chat.
  4. Tap REPORT.

Note: WhatsApp receives the last five messages sent to you by the reported user or group, and they won’t be notified. WhatsApp also receives the reported group or user ID, information on when the message was sent, and the type of message sent (image, video, text, etc.).

You can also choose to report an account by long pressing a single message.

  1. Long press an individual message and tap on the overflow menu.
  2. The option to report the contact will appear along with a confirmation notification and the option to block.

Although reporting on WhatsApp helps make the platform safer, it doesn’t do much to keep stalkers away. You have to keep in mind that this person already has access to your phone number. Therefore, they will continue to send texts even outside of the WhatsApp app if you were to block and report them.
