While WhatsApp has introduced end-to-end encryption for messages and calls, there are several ways to find out when a contact logs into WhatsApp (yes, even if that contact is trying to hide this information).

In this article, we analyze three ways to get notified when a user is online on WhatsApp. One method can only be used on Android, one only for iPhone, and one that works on both devices.

Do you know what the secret of all this is?

There is no real way to hide this information. Even if a user uses the methods to be invisible on WhatsApp , the apps we are about to see overcome these barriers and allow you to get the information you are looking for.

Without further ado, let’s see how you can find out the information on the last access of a WhatsApp contact and have a real report of his activities.

3 ways to monitor a WhatsApp contact on iPhone and Android

None of the apps we’re about to see provide 100% reliable results, except the last one, which is the only premium application.

1. OnlineNotify (Jailbroken iPhone) [70% reliability]

Let’s say right away that there is no way to receive notifications on WhatsApp contacts on iPhone unless you jailbreak .

Apple doesn’t allow apps in the store to do this kind of work, so instead of wasting hours searching the internet for something that doesn’t exist, trust and rule out this possibility (if and when a solution arrives that doesn’t require jailbreaking, I’ll let you know. right away).

On the other hand, your iPhone is jailbroken, open Cydia and search for OnlineNotify . This app costs $ 1.99, a small price to pay to get the WhatsApp contact information you’re looking for.

The tweak was developed by BigBoss and allows a user to view information about a specific WhatsApp contact they choose. You can receive information on the time of the last access, when a contact disconnects and know when he is online and is writing a message.

While it has worked well enough for most users, those with the latest version of iOS have noticed some issues and bugs.

2. WhatsApp Tracker (Android) [30% reliability]

While it is possible to root a device, similar to jailbreaking an iPhone, there are apps available for Android devices that don’t require this step. Of course, there are some drawbacks to choosing these options.

One of the big problems is the ease with which they come and go from the Google Play Store . One day I’m there, the next day suddenly the app is gone.

Second, they cannot go that deep into the contact’s activities and therefore some connections may not be notified.

That said, here are a couple of app names that work (for now). I’mWhatsDogand WhatsAgent , and both are available for download from the Google Play Store.

Basically, these apps are very similar. You can add a phone number and keep track of when that contact is online or leaving.

Negative note: be prepared for some publicity. This is the price to pay.

3. MSpy Mobile Phone Monitoring (iPhone or Android) [100% Reliability]

It is easy to see that this is one of the most popular spying apps that have ever been created. It is very simple to install and its interface is so simple that anyone can use it, even if they are not a computer expert.

Not only that, there is also customer service available via email or chat at any time of the day.

This solution works on all platforms (both Android and iPhone) and doesn’t even require you to jailbreak your iPhone (however, jailbroken or rooted devices have more options and features available).

Once mSpy is installed , you will be able to see everything you want to know about a contact. You can find out when she is online on WhatsApp, see call logs, read messages and Internet browsing history, emails, photos and videos, instant messages (on all major services including, of course, WhatsApp) and many other information.

If you want to know the main drawback, it is that the app works too well. Many relationships and marriages have been ruined due to the information provided by this app .

Now you know how to get the information you are looking for and know when a contact connects on WhatsApp. If you’re having trouble with any of these options, feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll try to help
