Whatsapp is the most used messaging app and quite often when we are with friends or family, someone sends us a message, it piques the interest of the curious.
This has a certain risk, because at any moment we can leave our mobile phone unattended and a friend, family member, or even worse, a stranger can end up accessing our conversations, even with the ability to steal the account.
Luckily we have two privacy settings you should do right now in your whatsapp app to avoid these types of errors, and for this you must activate both two-step verification and a screen lock in the application.
The first thing you need to do is enable two-step verificationwhere basically a second extra verification step will be required when we register our number again or in another terminal.
To activate it, you must access the WhatsApp settings, then select an account, and finally activate the two-step setup.
The second thing you need to do is activate whatsapp blockingand in this way, if someone takes our phone and tries to access the application, they will not be able to read or see anything at all, so we will protect our privacy.
To do this, just go to whatsapp settings then select the account and then go to privacy and from here you will need to activate the screen lock with Touch ID or Face ID.
In any case, curious people can see notifications on your terminal’s lock screen, although you can also turn them off in your iOS or Android device’s settings.
