How to protect yourself from hacking on WhatsApp: go into these settings, it's in one thing
WhatsApp has more than two billion users, and everyone is being warned to check their security options.
It's the best way to protect yourself from potential hacker attacks, blackmail, and data theft. Users have two basic options at their disposal, and today we deal with their roles.
Two-step verification
Hackers break into and steal other people's accounts every day, while two-step verification offers extra protection.
Not only will you secure sensitive data, but cybercriminals won't be able to draw contacts from your directory into shady schemes.
This security option is activated by clicking Settings > Account > Two-step verification > Enable/On.
Follow the further procedure with phone number confirmation.
Application lock
Did you know that you can lock WhatsApp separately? This is important if you let someone use the device, or if you lose it.
The phone may be in someone else's hands, but private correspondence remains out of reach, reports the British The Sun.
On iOS and Android devices, click Settings > Account > Privacy > Fingerprint Lock/Screen Lock > Touch ID/Face ID.
We emphasize that even with the application locked, you can answer calls and send quick replies (quick reply).
