If you check WhatsApp every morning as soon as you wake up, then this news is very important for you. Recently, some important updates related to WhatsApp’s privacy and security have come to the fore. If you ignore them, you may have to suffer heavy losses. Cases of cyber fraud and data leaks are increasing rapidly, and hackers are now targeting users through WhatsApp. Therefore, if you want your data and money to be safe, keep in mind WhatsApp’s new security guidelines.
Hide Online Status and Last Seen – Many people keep an eye on the online activities of others. When you are surfing the net at night or are busy in some important work, people think that you are unnecessarily active. This can sometimes lead to unnecessary talks or quarrels.
What to do? – Open WhatsApp > Settings > Privacy > Last Seen & Online Select “Nobody” or “My Contacts Except…” here. “Who can see when I’m online?” Set it to “Same as Last Seen”. Turn off WhatsApp notifications at night while sleeping. If you get a message notification at night while sleeping, your sleep may be disturbed. The mind is not able to calm down due to the screen light turning on again and again and vibration.
What to do? – Go to Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp of the mobile. Mute or disable “Notifications” from here. Turn on “Do Not Disturb” mode, so that no one will disturb you throughout the night.
Turn off WhatsApp Background Data – Even when you are not using the phone at night, WhatsApp keeps working in the background, such as downloading media and syncing messages. This drains your battery quickly.
What to do? – Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Data Usage of the mobile. Turn off “Background Data” here (at night). This will save your battery and the device will also not slow down. By adopting these simple measures, you can improve your WhatsApp privacy and security. Follow these guidelines to protect your data and money.
