If you want to hide your phone number on WhatsApp, unfortunately, there is no built-in option to completely hide it from others. Since WhatsApp is a phone number-based platform, your number is required for registration and communication. Unlike Telegram, which allows users to hide their phone numbers and use usernames, WhatsApp does not provide this privacy feature.
However, if your concern is keeping your number private in public groups, there are some workarounds. The best option is to limit who can see your personal details. Open WhatsApp, tap the three-dot menu, go to Settings, then select Privacy. Here, you can restrict your Last Seen, Profile Photo, About, and Status to My Contacts or specific people. While this doesn’t hide your number, it limits how much information others can see.
Another option is to use a secondary phone number for WhatsApp, especially if you frequently join public groups. You can get a virtual phone number or a secondary SIM card and use it solely for WhatsApp. This way, your personal number remains private.
Until WhatsApp introduces a feature to hide phone numbers, these are the best ways to protect your privacy. Stay updated, as future updates may bring new privacy settings.
