WhatsApp Hidden Security Tools: With billions of users, WhatsApp is one of the most used platforms worldwide. It is easy to use and provides many features like chatting, calling, file sharing and online meeting simultaneously. Seeing so much usage, scammers also keep an eye on it and make every effort to cheat people. In view of this, WhatsApp provides some security tools, which can protect users from fraud and scams.
These are the hidden security tools of WhatsApp
Two-Step Verification- For safe use of WhatsApp, it is necessary to enable two-step verification. This comes in handy when someone links your number to a new device. To turn it on, go to Settings, Account and tap on the option of two-step verification. Here you will be asked to create a PIN and add your email. It also supports passkey.
chat lock- If people other than you also use your device, then chat lock is very useful. Along with app lock, you can also lock individual chats. By doing this, the chat will open only after fingerprint, touch ID and face ID verification. With this, no one else will be able to read the messages of those chats on your device.
Strict Account Settings- Strict account setting is the latest feature of WhatsApp. As soon as you activate it, many security settings will be automatically enabled. As soon as you turn on this setting, WhatsApp will automatically block files and attachments coming from unknown numbers. Apart from this, the previews visible along with the URL will be disabled and calls coming from unknown numbers will be silenced. This can be enabled by going to the privacy option in the settings.
