a The WhatsAppIt is an instant messaging platform that facilitates everyday communications. Due to the high usage rate, it is important for users to be aware of exposing their accounts on public computers or on shared WI-Fi networks.
This is because, due to censorship, third parties can access your conversations without permission. In this sense, we separate some prevention tips. See more below!
Here’s how to not read your conversations by others
The first precaution is not to leave your account tied to a multi-access computer, such as libraries and Internet cafes, for example. Another tip is to be careful when using free WI-FI networks, it is always important to unlink your device from the system.
If you suspect that your messages are being read, check if the conversations you didn’t see have already been read, or access the Connected Devices option. If you have a strange device connected, tap Disconnect as soon as possible.
Finally, a great suggestion to protect yourself is to enable 2-Step Verification. See step by step:
- In the The WhatsAppgo to the “Settings” tab;
- Find the “Account” option;
- Once done, click on it and hit “2-Step Verification”;
- Now enable the security layer by creating a new password.
With this, every time you have to access your account, it will be necessary to inform the new verification password as well as the security code.
How do you react to messages with any emoji?
It was recently released to The WhatsApp New option to reply to messages with any emoji. The feature is an update from the previous version, which limited the use of only six numbers.
In addition to being able to reply to a message, be it text, image, video, audio or file, with any emoji, the user will also be able to use different skin tones depending on the capacity of the sticker.
To check if the news reaches you, simply press for a few seconds on the message. If the “+” sign appears as the seventh option, then the feature is already available in your app.
On the button, you can select the desired emoji or even search for the magnifying glass icon. As usual, the functionality is being released gradually, so it will likely take some time to get to your device.
