WhatsApp Hack Safety Tips: WhatsApp hacking is a serious problem in which hackers gain access to users' accounts in an illegal way. This usually happens due to phishing links, weak passwords or a lack of two-step verification. Hackers gain access to your personal information, chats and contacts, which poses a threat to privacy. Therefore, WhatsApp users have to make some settings to protect their accounts.
If you want your WhatsApp account not to be hacked, there are some easy settings that you can turn on today. Here we are telling you about these.

1. Two-Step Verification:
Open WhatsApp and click on the three dots on the right side, then go to Settings.
Select Account: Click on Account.
Enable Two-Step Verification: Click on Two-Step Verification here and set it. You will have to create a PIN, which will be required every time you verify your number in WhatsApp.

2. Privacy Settings:

Set Last Seen, Profile Photo, and Status: Tap My Contacts or No One to set these options. This will make your information visible only to people you trust.
