How to protect WhatsApp from hackers?

WhatsApp helps us to stay in contact with our friends and family. As a result, a large number of people use this service regularly. However, as a result of the increasing number of hacking cases, people's fears of their WhatsApp conversations being leaked have increased. If you have this concern, don't worry; in this post, I'll discuss some of the methods that will help you keep your WhatsApp conversations safe. So, without wasting any time, let's learn more about these methods in-depth.

Following are the steps to protect a WhatsApp chat:

Switch on security alerts 

WhatsApp's security notification feature is critical for keeping your WhatsApp conversations safe. A security code is generated whenever a WhatsApp account is logged into another device. The user receives a security notification when they change this code. This protects both your WhatsApp account and your chat. Follow the instructions below to turn on this feature:

Login WhatsApp 

Choose a setting option

Navigate to Account and then Security. 

There you will see the security notification option; switch it on to enable it.

Make use of the password-protection option. 

WhatsApp chats are protected with the Password Protect feature. This feature protects us against unauthorized access to our WhatsApp account. Apart from that, Touch ID is also available on the iPhone.

Two-step verification is needed. 

Users can also use two-step verification to keep their WhatsApp conversations safe. Not only that, but this feature also lowers the risks of a hacked WhatsApp account. Users must first go to WhatsApp's settings and choose the account option to access this feature. Then, by navigating to the two-step verification option and inputting the password, you can enable it.

Do not save a backup of your conversations. 

To keep WhatsApp chats safe, disable the chat backup option. This chat backup is saved in cloud storage, such as Google Drive, and hackers can access chats through these cloud services.
