WhatsApp makes every effort to keep users’ data safe by implementing measures such as two-factor authentication and one-time login.

However, there is always the risk of someone else exploiting your account. This is why it’s crucial to know if your account is safe.

To begin, you must sign in to your account in a safe manner.

Examine your WhatsApp account’s activity to see if anyone is using it. Check the top of your chats to see if there are any messages from unfamiliar contacts that you did not send or receive.

Your contact information will be changed if someone hacks into your account. Go to “settings” and select “profile” from the drop-down menu.

Examine carefully to ensure that all of the information is exactly as you had updated it.

Start safeguarding your account and activating two-factor authentication if you discover any information on the account that you did not upload.

Go to your email and look for the search bar first. In the search engine, type “WhatsApp” and see if there are any messages alerting you to account changes or access.

Check to see if any new contacts have been made. Tap the “chat” icon, which can be found in a variety of places depending on your device.

It’s also critical to verify that all of the log-in sessions were initiated by you. Check your most recent sessions or any open ones by tapping the three vertical dots. Select “Linked devices” from the drop-down menu.

Check to see if any unknown devices have access to your WhatsApp account. If there is, select “Log Out” from the device’s menu.

Enabling two-factor authentication

Select “Account” from the drop-down menu under “Settings.” “Two-step verification” can be found there. Select “Enable” after tapping on it.

Finally, enter a 6-digit PIN code to verify your account. This way, you’ll have to enter the code every time you open the account.
