New To Whatsapp
24 Answers
I’m new to WhatsApp and, not being terrible technically minded, would appreciate some advice please.
First question, can everyone on the WhatsApp contacts list see everything that’s written, or are messages between sender and addressee private?
Second question. A friend tells me she has WhatsApp and has encouraged me to get it. I have, but now find she is not among those listed on the WhatsApp contacts list. I can’t message her on WhatsApp and she can’t message me on WhatsApp. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on there?

I have tried doing as you say and messaging her but the message is set via the normal iPhone, not via WhatsApp - if that makes sense. She can't message me via WhatsApp either. I can only think she doesn't have WhatsApp but she insists she does. All very odd.
Murraymints, by the same token I need to add her to my WhatsApp contacts and I can't because she is not on the list it's thrown up. I've just asked her if I'm on her WhatsApp list. I'm beginning to think she doesn't have it.
Tilly, I've managed to add other people, and message them, but they're on the list. Does it often fail?

Tilly, I've tried that. She didn't think it necessary to respond because she says she already has WhatsApp. I think the point is she is not on the list it's thrown up.
sqad, I have that icon and have already successfully added people and messaged them. I think she's confused, but I can't see how she can be. She must know if she uses WhatsApp or not - and she says she does.
I think I'll have to wait for her to get back to me and tell me if I'm on her WhatsApp contacts list. If she has it I should be there.
