Safeguard your WhatsApp account from hackers

Hackers now hack WhatsApp Accounts; they act on your integrity. They'll change your phone number to theirs and replace you in whatsoever group you belong.

To prevent this from happening follow these steps:

Go to settings on your WhatsApp,

Click on Account,

Click on Two- step verification,

Enter pin,

Input your email address

And save, that's all.

If someone wants to change it, WhatsApp will ask for the Two-step verification and without it the account won't open.

Thank you
Thanks

Two steps verification will fix that, but the cloud storage is definitely true and prone to hacking.

Be wise

End of story. Even when you stop using the internet, your data is still online - forever. Privacy is a wash

WhatsApp isn't safe: Being the biggest social messaging apps, WhatsApp has caught the eye of the miscreants and spam threats have begun to rear their ugly heads.

Backup messages are not encrypted: WhatsApp has made loud noises about end-to-end encryption that ensures that only you and the person you're communicating with can read what's sent. However, that encryption does not work if the data is stored as a backup on Google Drive. WhatsApp had recently signed a pact with Google to allow its users to store messages on the search giants' cloud storage offering.

Hacker can alter photos and videos: A security flaw in WhatsApp has come to light that allows potential hackers to alter the image, audio or video files. The vulnerability stemmed from how media files are stored in WhatsApp.

If you care enough about your privacy to delete Facebook (or even change the way you use the social network) you may want to ditch WhatsApp as well. If you need a new, more secure messaging app try Signal or even iMessage for communicating between Apple devices.

If you believe WhatsApp can't be hacked you lie, because it has happened to me, my friends, relatives, and destroy a lot of relationship.

LMAO....You'll end up deleting every social media app because they are all hackable. In this age where everyone posts their personal business online, it is easy to guess key details necessary to take over an account. From birthdays to siblings, too easy. This particular flaw isn't something new, ever heard of dropbox? End to end encryption is a myth when it comes to social media, there's always an exploit. Multi factor auth is the way to go, this includes iris and fingerprint scanning, your biometrics is more secured than any password or pin!
