Fraudulent practices every time and place
Re: Stop Using Whatsapp If You Care About Your Privacy by mitje(m): 11:44am On Oct 17, 2019
I think this is where we need to leverage on Whatsapp's core security feature-2 factor authentication. Get it enable on your Whatsapp account and you should be fine

Do the security verification on whatsapp settings to avoid being hacked...Two Step Verification is the solution

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

Well said.
If you have two smartphones download the Google authenticator on the smartphone that doesn't have the WhatsApp.
Even if the person hacks your phone with the whatsapp, he won't be able to hack your WhatsApp.
Re: Stop Using Whatsapp If You Care About Your Privacy by openmine(m): 11:46am On Oct 17, 2019
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.
Hope this isn't a ploy by iphone users to advertise their messaging app while trying to prevent others from using whatsapp?
Just a question based on the highlighted statement!

That may be true, but Whatsapp is already part and parcel of our life already. Some of us have a whole business empire built around it. Its just impossible to neglect overnight.

WhatsApp can't be hacked but if you set your backup to Google drive automatically, the hacker will target Google and get your stuff
