5 Tips for Using WhatsApp Safely
In the digital era, WhatsApp is one of the most frequently used platforms. Users utilize WhatsApp to share information and discuss various topics. Often, WhatsApp users are not aware of the importance of securing their WhatsApp accounts.
Here are five ways to secure your WhatsApp account:
- Never share your registration code or two-step verification PIN with anyone.
- Enable two-step verification, then enter an email address to use in case you forget your PIN.
- Set a voicemail password that is hard to guess to prevent others from accessing your voicemails.
- Regularly check linked devices. Open WhatsApp Settings > Linked Devices to review all devices linked to your account. To remove a linked device, tap on the device name > Log Out.
- Set a device code and be mindful of who can physically access your phone. Anyone with physical access to your phone could potentially use your WhatsApp account without your permission.
We recommend sharing this advice with your friends and family to help secure their WhatsApp accounts.
