WhatsApp isn’t just like Duo, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, tiktok, snapchat, etc that you add, follow someone without a number. It works with a phone number and without the phone number, you cannot use WhatsApp.

This is how it is made, to work using a user’s mobile phone number. So you can get a fake phone number or real phone number and use for your whatsapp.

Yes of course, it is safe to give someone your whatsapp number as long as you know the person or even if you don’t know the person cause if anything goes wrong, you can swiftly block the person.

This is what almost all business or sales people usually do, having a whatsapp account strictly for their business or products, and the phone number won’t be their personal number but rather their business number.

As long as you comfortable with the person you’re giving your whatsapp number, then there’s nothing to fear unless you’re not comfortable with the person.

But let me remind you of this, all the people thar has the phone number linked to your whatsapp account already has your whatsapp number unless you bought a new number strictly for your whatsapp account cause I have seen quite number of persons that did it.

They bought a new sim card with a new number strictly for their whatsapp. They only give out the number to those that want to chat with.
