No, someone should not be able to use your WhatsApp number without you knowing. When you register or change devices, WhatsApp sends a verification code to your number. If you receive unexpected verification messages, this may be a sign of unauthorized attempts. Always use two-step verification within WhatsApp under Settings > Account > Two-step verification to enhance security and ensure your account remains under your control.
