How to check if a phone number is On WhatsApp?

Here is the thing: it is a struggle to check if a number is on WhatsApp or not. You have to add the mobile number first as a contact before you can verify if the number is WhatsApp-registered or not.

If the “Invite” button appeared after you added the contact number, it means that the number is not yet registered on WhatsApp. Check the full steps here.

Now the status comes in 2 possible results:

SENT. It means that the message was successfully sent
