We receive many inquiries about “WhatsApp” and profile pictures.
The reason is that many users suddenly use a giraffe instead of their profile picture.
The contacts look like this:
What's going on there?
There was already such a case in 2013. On Facebook, a number of users also used a giraffe head as their profile picture. At first many people thought it was a “virus” or something similar. But it turned out to be a GAME. You can view our report from back then here.
And this game/quiz is also available on WhatsApp.
This could be, for example:
Question: You come into the room. There are 2 dogs, 4 cats and a giraffe on the bed. And there are 5 hippos standing around there too. 3 chickens fly around and also a small duck. Like this: How many feet are there in the room? If you answer incorrectly, you have to have the picture of the giraffe as your WhatsApp profile picture for 3 days!
And here we have the solution.
Those users who have a giraffe as their profile picture answered incorrectly and nothing else. So it's basically a chain letter that's making the rounds on WhatsApp.
