How to protect your WhatsApp from hackers
WhatsApp scams are everywhere right now.
Hackers are taking over accounts and messaging family members asking for urgent MoMo or bank transfers.
Do these 3 things right now to make your WhatsApp unhackable: 👇
📌 1. Turn on Two-Step Verification:
Go to WhatsApp Settings > Account > Two-step verification > Turn on. Create a 6-digit PIN and add your email. Even if someone steals your SMS verification code, they CANNOT enter your WhatsApp without this PIN.
📌 2. Check ‘Linked Devices’:
Tap the three dots (Android) or Settings (iPhone) > Linked Devices. If you see a browser or computer you don't recognize, tap it and hit Log Out immediately. Someone might be reading your chats silently.
📌 3. Lock your chats with biometrics:
Go to Settings > Privacy > App Lock (or Chat Lock for specific sensitive chats). Turn on Face ID or Fingerprint lock so nobody can open your WhatsApp even if you hand them your unlocked phone.
Don't wait until your friends start getting fake ‘send money now or the usual urgent 2k’ messages from your number.
