🔓🔓7 wonder tips regarding what'sapp🔐🔐
1)((Block WhatsApp photos from appearing in photoroll/ gallery))
Pictures that you receive on WhatsApp are automatically stored in your phone’s Photo roll or gallery, exposing them to anyone who browses photos on your phone. To restrict it on an iPhone, you can go into the phone’s Settings menu, then tap ‘Privacy’, ‘Photos’, and deselect WhatsApp. For Android users it’s a little bit complicated.
Using a file explorer app such as ES File Explorer, you can find WhatsApp’s ‘Images’ and ‘Videos’ folders and create a file within each called ‘.nomedia’. This will stop Android Gallery app from scanning the folder.
2)((Restrict access to profile picture))
You can restrict access to your WhatsApp profile picture to people who’re in your phone’s address book. People who don’t know you can download your picture from your WhatsApp profile and, through Google Image search, can find out more about you if you use the same picture on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or your company’s website.
Set profile picture sharing to “contacts only” in the menu to enable this feature.
3) ((Beware of scams))
WhatsApp will never contact users through the app and does not send emails about chats, voice messages, payment, changes, photos, or videos, unless you contact their help and support.
Anyone offering a free subscription, claiming to be from WhatsApp or encouraging you to follow links in order to safeguard your account is definitely a scam and should not be trusted. These links could lead to websites that install malware and spyware or track your personal details.
4) (Deactivate WhatsApp if you lose your phone)
If you lose your smartphone, it’s advisable to immediately activate WhatsApp with the same phone number on a different phone, with a replacement SIM.
One of the basic security measures that WhatsApp takes is that the app can only be used by one number on one device at a time, so by doing so you instantly block it from being used on your old phone.
If that’s not possible, WhatsApp can also deactivate your account.
5)( (WhatsApp app locked))
How many times have you given your phone to your friend without worrying about exposing your private messages and picture?
While WhatsApp doesn't offer a built-in password or pin, you can use third party apps like Messenger and Chat Lock, Lock for WhatsApp Secure Chat if you use an Android phone to prevent peeping toms.
6)( (Hide the ‘last seen’ timestamp))
The bone of contention, WhatsApp’s much disliked ‘last seen’ feature can also be disabled! Although more of a privacy feature, it could help prevent your stalker know what time you were last online.
You can disable or restrict who sees your ‘last seen’ time in WhatsApp’s ‘Profile’; ‘Privacy’ menu, in Android, iOS, Windows or Blackberry.
However, if you turn it off, you won’t be able to see other users’ ‘last seen’ .
7) ((Be careful of what you talk about))
Similar to other forms of communication, you should not share confidential information, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, bank or credit card details, or passport or other identification details on WhatsApp.
A man in the middle attack could lead to this information being compromised. WhatsApp has introduced end-to-end encryption for its Android users but other platforms are still vulnerable.
