I didn't experience the issue with complete strangers. What I noticed was that, I could still see status updates from people whose numbers I had already deleted from my phonebook. I think Meta created a repository in the WhatsApp application that allowed numbers on your device to be synchronised and saved to your WhatsApp application. Note: This would not stop you from seeing sponsored ads. But it will stop you from seeing ads from contacts that were previously saved to your device, and synced to your WhatsApp application. Here’s how I fixed it: 4 Likes |

Go to your whatsapp settings. Scroll down to Privacy.

Under privacy select the option "Contacts"

Uncheck the "WhatsApp contacts" and select "delete" to delete the contacts that were synchronised and saved to your WhatsApp Contacts. 3 Likes

saintruky:You can't stop seeing the ads. But you won't see the statuses of contacts that you had previously deleted from your phonebook. |

InternetWebM082:Your contacts are stored on WhatsApp. That option will delete the contacts that are stored on WhatsApp, not your phonebook. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

I told someone this some time ago. WhatsApp has taken our contacts without our knowledge. SixSeven: 3 Likes |

flexyrule:Even the ones you did not initially save on WhatsApp have already been saved there. It happened to me. How do I know? I lost my phone and changed to a new one. Right now, I have not saved anyone's number on the new phone. I see all contacts by searching for their names and it comes up. Like doing a trucaller. 3 Likes |

Good I just used this to navigate and didn't have to block anyone. If people don't see what you post, who will buy what you are selling? |

This is not a good idea... all my contact will delete noow |

If you don't want the new update, save up for premium WhatsApp. WhatsApp is about to be monitize hence all the updates. Mark will start pushing ads to WhatsApp, if you don't want ads you pay monthly subscription. 1 Like |

Just leave the contacts there...let them see what the Lord is doing in your life |

SixSeven:We are saying the same thing. When you install WhatsApp on your phone, WhatsApp uploads the contacts in your phonebook to the App. If you log in to your account on another phone, your already uploaded contacts will pop up on the new phone, even when you haven't saved them to the phone. |

Offpoint1:If he tries that, alot of user will start looking for alternative, belive me, that's not a good place to be. If 1 billion people see have something exactly like WhatsApp, they will all switch over night instead of paying subscription! And an app like WhatsApp is pretty easy to develop this days with help of AI. Once ads and subscription comes out, people will immediately start looking for alternatives. |
