My WhatsApp has done something funny, and I wondered if any clever people can explain how!
Yesterday a random person appeared in an old chat from 2021. I did not invite him (I'm the chat admin) and neither did the other chat participants. Nobody knows who he is, he's just a random. To be clear, this was an existing chat, ie it's not that he just messaged me randomly. He actually jumped in to our old chat.
I have not been hacked or anything, and my phone is the only linked device. I've received no notifications of login attempts from other devices.
So how can a random person just invite himself into our chat? Or maybe he is innocent and WhatsApp just added him without his consent!
I've contacted WhatsApp obviously but I don't think it's an actual person I'm talking to, and the bot doesn't believe me that this can happen. But it has!
