Thus, said app will add a <strong>extra security step<\/strong> to prevent other people from accessing our WhatsApp account.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" How to improve the privacy and security of your WhatsApp\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/07\/13\/applock.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\" How to improve the privacy and security of your WhatsApp\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Two-step verification system<\/h2>\n<p>WhatsApp added a new security system some time ago with the <strong>two-step verification system<\/strong>, a tool that verifies our mobile number on WhatsApp. And the first time we use the messaging app, and with the system activated, <strong>we will receive an SMS<\/strong> after entering our mobile number. This code adds an extra layer of security that will prevent third parties from accessing our WhatsApp to spy on our chats.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" How to improve the privacy and security of your WhatsApp\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/07\/13\/whatsapp-verificacion-dos-pasos.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\" How to improve the privacy and security of your WhatsApp\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through this security system adds a <strong>6 digit code<\/strong> that only the owner will know, beyond the code via SMS. On the other hand, if we forget or lose the extra code, we can request it to be sent through a personal email; This email can even notify us if someone is trying to link our WhatsApp to another device. To activate the two-step verification system we just have to go to <strong>Settings \u2013 Account \u2013 Two-Step Verification<\/strong> through WhatsApp options.<\/p>\n<h2>Beware of traps and viral messages<\/h2>\n<p>WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging applications in the world and therefore one of the main <strong>targets of countless hackers<\/strong>. And it is very normal that we receive one of those <strong>viral messages through our contacts<\/strong> that inform us that we have won a giveaway, that we can unlock special WhatsApp functions, that WhatsApp will soon be paid, or totally misleading promotions, among many other scams.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" How to improve the privacy and security of your WhatsApp\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/07\/13\/whatsapp-estafa.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\" How to improve the privacy and security of your WhatsApp\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The objective of these messages is that <strong>Click on a link that accompanies the text<\/strong> to access the supposed prizes or advantages, although the real reason for these false links is the <strong>private data theft<\/strong>. The only thing we can do in these cases is use common sense and not fall into this type of online scam; and it is that <strong>We should never click on links from unknown sources<\/strong> If we do not want to get an unfortunate surprise through this type of scam.<\/p>\n<h2>Change the download path for media files<\/h2>\n<p>WhatsApp groups usually share <strong>multitude of multimedia files, such as images, videos or voice notes<\/strong> humorous or sexual tone, so it is likely that your <strong>Gallery of media files or downloads<\/strong> WhatsApp shows numerous audiovisual examples of this type. And if our cell phone falls into the hands of others, even under our supervision, it is possible that <strong>We don&#039;t want anyone to see these types of files<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is recommended <strong>change the download path of media files<\/strong> so they don&#039;t go directly to the section <strong>Gallery<\/strong>, visible to everyone. To do this, you just have to go to <strong>Settings \u2013 Data and storage<\/strong> and disable the option <strong>Show media files in gallery<\/strong>. Thus, the files will be stored in another folder outside of Gallery along with other personal photographs and videos. It&#039;s better to prevent than to cure!<\/p>\n<h2>Suspend WhatsApp account<\/h2>\n<p>The last and most drastic option is <strong>suspend our WhatsApp account<\/strong> if we believe that our personal data may be in danger at the hands of third parties, either due to theft or loss of the terminal. So, the first thing we should do is put ourselves <strong>contact our operator<\/strong> so they block our SIM card. Now we have two options: or <strong>we get another sim card<\/strong> with our number to activate our WhatsApp account on another mobile terminal or we send an email to <a href=\"https:\/\/faq.whatsapp.com\/en\/general\/24460358\/\">WhatsApp helpdesk<\/a> with the matter \u201c<strong>Lost\/Stolen: Please deactivate my Account<\/strong>&quot; next to <strong>our mobile number<\/strong> with the international format. If our account is deactivated, we must keep the following information in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The account is not completely deleted.<\/li>\n<li>Our contacts can still see our profile.<\/li>\n<li>Our contacts can send us messages up to 30 days after suspension.<\/li>\n<li>If we reactivate the account before it is permanently deleted, we will receive the pending messages on our new terminal and we will still remain in the chat groups.<\/li>\n<li>If we do not activate the account within the next 30 days, our account will be permanently deleted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>More tricks on WhatsApp:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/whatsapp-how-to-mute-a-user-from-a-group-chat\/\">WhatsApp: How to mute a user from a group chat<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/group-video-calls-how-to-make-group-calls-on-whatsapp\/\">Group video calls: how to make group calls on WhatsApp<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/how-to-use-two-whatsapp-accounts-at-the-same-time-on-the-same-phone\/\">How to use two WhatsApp accounts at the same time on the same phone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/trucos.com\/en\/mobiles\/whatsapp-tricks-how-to-read-and-respond-to-messages-without-appearing-online\/\">WhatsApp Tricks: How to read and respond to messages without appearing online<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow our tutorial to protect the privacy of your WhatsApp account as much as possible<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-1023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-moviles","tag-tecnologia"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
