What are sieve opening and sieve activity?
“Screen to Open” checks whether the number is registered with WhatsApp; “Screen Active” further checks whether the account is online recently and if it has activity on the basis of activation. Both can run together, or you can first use the screen to activate the account, then perform a second active screening on the “activated” number.
| Function | Testing content | Output results |
|---|---|---|
| Screening and opening | Is the number registered for WhatsApp? | Activated / Not activated / Cannot be determined |
| The sieve is active | Is the account you have opened online recently? | Active / Inactive / Cannot be determined |
If the other party hides their online status and last online time in WhatsApp privacy settings, the platform cannot access this information and will reply with a “Cannot determine” message. This does not mean the number is not activated; it is just that privacy protection limits the results.
Filter operation steps
- Clean numbers: organize Faroe Islands numbers into
+2986-digit numbers, remove other separators. - Upload file: Create a new task in AppShai, upload CSV/TXT, and make sure the header includes a “Number” column.
- Choose a platform: Select WhatsApp.
- Select filter type: Check “Screen Open” or “Screen Active”.
- Task execution: After completing the task, download the results and group them by active/active status.
- Handling result: Compliant contact was made for “Activated Active” numbers; The “Not Activated” mark was removed or the next round of review was conducted.
How do you look at the results?
| The result | Meaning | Recommended actions |
|---|---|---|
| Activated: Active | Registered with WhatsApp and have used it recently | You can try to reach out to compliance |
| Activated Inactive | Registered but not used for a long time | It may be a deprecated account, handle it with caution |
| Not yet opened | The number does not have a WhatsApp account | No further follow-up is needed |
| Impossible to judge | Privacy restrictions cause the query to fail | You can retest or manually confirm later |

WhatsApp usage in the Faroe Islands
Public information shows WhatsApp is widely used in the Nordic regions, including Denmark and Norway. The Faroe Islands have a small population and close ties with Denmark and Iceland, so WhatsApp is often used for private and cross-border communications. However, there is no official local data on WhatsApp user proportions, and this article does not cite any market data. If you want to screen WhatsApp numbers in the Faroe Islands, please refer directly to the actual test results.
Compliance Considerations
Before processing the number, confirm your rights to use this data, such as user proactive funding, CRM data, and authorized lists. Although the Faroe Islands are not EU members, as part of the Kingdom of Denmark, they follow European principles for personal data protection and recommend handling according to GDPR standards. Screened results can only be used for legitimate business reach and should not be used for bulk harassment, bypassing platform restrictions, or illegal marketing.
