I'm asking this for a lovely friend who discovered her DH's affair just over two months ago.
For reasons best known to herself she's forgiven him and they're moving on. Part of that is that she now has all of his passwords, access to his phone and so on.
Yesterday she found WhatsApp hidden on the second page of a folder on his iphone. He said it was a throwback to the affair, showed her that there were no 'chats' and deleted the app to reassure her.
She has now installed WhatsApp on her own phone and, as both her DH and OW are in her phone contacts, she can see their profiles.
Her DH was 'last seen' on Sunday night, and the OW seems to be on it a lot.
Her question really is what does the little counter mean next to their statuses. OW's says 74d (discovery day) and DHs says 32d (weekend she was away staying with family). Their statuses both say 'hey there, I'm on WhatsApp' which we think is the status given when you join.
It's a crying shame she's going through all this, and I'm sorry it's long, but can anyone shed any light?
We initially thought it was counting from when they opened their accounts, but she thinks her DH has had it for years.on.
