Women blocked on DH What's App

Feel sick to my stomach writing this. Currently on holiday with DH and 3DC. DH went to the shop and left his phone on the table. I never go near his phone but I checked it.

No messages on what's app or text messages that were suspicious. Nothing on his email in the inbox sent or archived.

On his Whats App contacts there were three female contacts I don't know. One was a picture of a girl and her name the other two were saved under initials and they were in lingerie but couldn't see their faces with suggestive emoji after their name. He had them all blocked and no conversations.

I don't know what to do. I've never ever doubted him. He works really hard for our family. He's loving affectionate and attentive towards me.

Sorry but spam accounts would just show as a number. Why would he save them to his contacts? Be for real here

Another idiot

Spam accounts have public WhatsApp accounts

Therefore their names and pictures are visible to anyone they cold message

@audeloquipalam Yes, I agree with you. Given the number of posters who have corrected the assumption that it must be suspicious, the ones continuing to undermine the OP are therefore simply shit stirring grief vultures.

“Shit stirring grief vulture” is going on regular rotation. You should look into copyright.

They don’t just show as a number. And they weren’t saved to his contacts.

I get so many of these. They send you a message and you can see their picture and their username in your “Chats”.

So many people are too technologically illiterate to understand how the App works. You’re doing the OP no favours herd and simply scaremongering. It’s pathetic.

So, be for real here.

@AnnaFri you’re unwell.

@AnnaFri you’re unwell.

Nah just someone with a functioning brain cell

The amount of idiocy on these comments is something else

Especially considering the OPs poor mental health

You'd think anyone with such little understanding of the situation wouldn't comment to not cause more distress

Alas

MarigoldMoonStone · 26/08/2022 13:20

I would of thought they were just blocked spam messages, as I have some, but I don't know why he would need to have them saved as contacts - it would just be a number? Unless you have to have the contact saved to block it on the type of phone he has. You don't need to save to block on iPhone

MarigoldMoonStone · 26/08/2022 13:23

Oh okay, looking at other comments it seems like names can come up regardless of whether you have them saved.

TokenGinger · 26/08/2022 21:29

@AnnaFri

He hasn't saved them

You can have public WhatsApp accounts

Which even if you don't know the person will then show your name and picture if you attempt to message

That's how the sex spam works

Wouldn't be effective if you couldn't have an image visible even as a cold message

Ah, thank you for the explanation. I think I got confused by OP saying she found them in his contacts in the first post, but what you've said makes total sense. Thank you for explaining to me.

I don't think there is anything in this at all OP. I've had weird stuff over WhatsApp.
The escort/sex worker bullshit that people have spouted on here is another level bullshit.
Ignore the idiots op
