How To Know If Your WhatsApp Has Been Hacked And How To Fix It

Here are a few tips to help you prevent your WhatsApp account from being hacked –

1. First things first, you should log out of all the computers and connected devices that are under the WhatsApp web. Make it a habit to do this every time you use WhatsApp on your computer devices. This prevents hackers from reading your chats even if they get access to your account online.
2. Never leave your phone unattended when you are out. Even if it’s with friends or a group of known people.
3. It is best to lock all your apps to prevent unknown people from accessing your personal information on the phone. There are a lot of different apps available for free that help you lock your apps for privacy and security reasons.
4. Never connect your smartphone to an unknown Wi-Fi connection. This is one of the easiest ways for hackers to get access to your unique IP address or MAC address and easily gain access to all your chats.
5. In case you are an unfortunate victim to WhatsApp hacking, the best thing to do is to email support@whatsapp.com asking them to deactivate your account. The account is automatically deleted if it is not accessed for 30 days.
