As Andro4all, a technology portal, details, this secret method only works if you use the instant messaging app on an iPhone, that is, if you own an Android phone, you won’t be able to do it.

According to the post, this WhatsApp trick does not require the user to install a strange program on their cell phone, nor does it ask to use modified versions, just follow these simple steps:

1. Enter your iPhone’s calendar.

2. Find the contact you don’t want to show your profile picture to.

3. Press the Edit button (pencil shape) at the bottom right.

4. Your contact details will appear: first name, last name, and phone number.

5. Position yourself before the number and add the following code: #31

6. That is, if your friend’s number is 999888777, it must now be #31.999888777.

Go to the Instant Messaging App Settings. Then tap Account, then Privacy, and then the Profile Photo option. A small box will open, where you must choose No one.
