Social media is an ever present concept in our lives. Many people are on several social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and several others. Social media platforms are used for several purposes, ranging from pleasure and leisure to business.
Social media is one way to identify an unknown number.
Most social media profiles are created using phone numbers and a large percentage of these profiles make these phone numbers public. You can use this to your advantage.

WhatsApp is a messenger owned by Facebook. It is extensively used by people to send free SMS and make free voice and video calls.
It is yet another interesting application you can use when it comes to tracking the Identity of a phone number.
The procedure is relatively simple. All you have to do is to save the number on your contact list (you might choose to delete it later on). After saving the number, head over to your WhatsApp app.
Wait for a few minutes for the contacts to refresh or you can refresh manually, then view the WhatsApp profile of the phone number. Another alternative way is to search for the number in the voice call section of the app.
With this option, you can see details about the owner of the phone number especially the picture. Keep in mind that does people may not have their profile picture public or may choose to not use their pictures at all.
