WhatsApp chats are not safe for you, if you ignore these 5 privacy tips

Are you concerned about your safety on WhatsApp or do you simply ignore the issue of cyber crime? If you are among the latter, you are not safe on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp offers several privacy features to let users chat safely on the app.

WhatsApp chat is already end-to-end encrypted, that is these messages and calls stay between you and the receiver, and no one else can read or listen to it.

Here are WhatsApp privacy features you must try:

WhatsApp View Once: Using this feature you can send photos and videos that disappear after a single view.

Two Step Verification: Using two-step verification you can add extra security when you sign in to your WhatsApp account.

Lock your WhatsApp: You can enable Touch ID, Face ID, or Android fingerprint lock to secure WhatsApp.

Online visibility: You can choose to be seen by only those you want – everyone, your contacts, some of your contacts, or no one.

Disappearing messages: You can send messages that will automatically disappear. You can select if you want the messages to disappear after 24 hours, after 7 days and after 90 days.

Apart from the above mentioned tips, you can also use the Block and Report feature to keep unwanted contacts and messages out of your chat list.
