WhatsApp Tips And Tricks: WhatsApp makes our chat easier, but along with staying connected, it is also important to protect your account. Scams on WhatsApp are constantly increasing. In such a situation, it becomes important to keep your account protected. Today we are going to tell you about 5 easy tips, which will make your chat and account more secure...

 

Think of it as a doorkeeper for your account. Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security by asking for a six-digit PIN in addition to an SMS verification code when registering your number with WhatsApp on a new device.

Fingerprint/face ID lock active

Don't leave your chats open to prying eyes. Enable the fingerprint or face ID lock feature on your phone so that no one else can access WhatsApp even if your phone is unlocked. This is especially useful if you often forget where you put your phone.

Protect information

Not everyone needs to see your last seen or profile picture. Review your privacy settings and set who can see your profile information, status updates, and last seen. Consider limiting it to just your contacts or hiding it altogether to maintain your privacy.

Avoid phishing links

Just like emails, WhatsApp messages can also be used by crooks to trick you into clicking on links. Be cautious of messages from unknown numbers or messages that offer quick work or lucrative deals. If a message looks suspicious, don't click on the link in it and consider reporting the number.

View connected devices

It is important to keep an eye on where your account is used. WhatsApp allows you to see which devices are currently logged in to your account. If you see an unknown device, you can log it out remotely so that no unauthorized person can use it. Make it a habit to check your connected devices from time to time, especially after using WhatsApp on a public computer.
