Make Whatsapp More Safe And Secure

Whatsapp is the most using app now a days, but the question is, is it safe. there are some ways by which you can actually Make Whatsapp More Safe and Secure
Whatsapp is world's fastest growing messaging app. People are loving it due to its features which are a lot in number. But what if I say that Whatsapp Is Not Safe. But if you are using it, there are some steps you should take to protect your security and privacy.


WhatsApp’s built-in end-to-end encryption. It’s enabled by default and can’t be turned off. The encryption ensures that your messages can only be read on the recipient’s phone. It’s the same for voice calls and video calls, both of which are encrypted.


1. Check Encryption for Sensitive Conversations

WhatsApp encrypts all chats by default, but sometimes you want to double-check. It’s good thing to do that while sharing sensitive information like a account number with a trusted contact.

To verify the encryption, start a conversation with that contact. In the chat window, tap the contact’s name, and then tap Encryption. You’ll see something like this:

This 40-digit pattern is your security code. You can verify this code manually by comparing the digits, asking the contact to scan that QR code, or scanning your contact’s code with the “Scan Code” button. As security researcher Martin Shelton notes, it’s best to use a different messenger to verify that these numbers match.

2. Turn On Security Notifications

When a new phone or laptop accesses an existing chat, a new security code generates for both phones. And WhatsApp can send a notification when the security code changes. This way, you can check the encryption with your friend over a different messenger, ensuring its security.

To turn on security notifications, go to
WhatsApp > Settings > Account >Security > Show security notifications and flip the toggle to green, as pictured above. And its done easily.

3. Enable Two-Step Verification

If a service supports it, you should be using two factor authentication(2FA). This adds a periodic passcode to WhatsApp, and also ensures your data isn’t accessed by someone else.

To activate 2FA, go to 
Menu >Settings > Account > Two-step verification > Enable. Follow the steps to create a six-digit PIN code that you can easily remember. Importantly, add your email address to retrieve that code in case you forget it.


4. You Can’t Password Protect WhatsApp

Unfortunately, there’s no way to lock WhatsApp with a password. WhatsApp recommends using a third-party locking app for it on Android.
On iPhones, there is simply no way to password-protect WhatsApp. But Now you can protect your whatsapp with inbuild fingerprint lock.

So, Here were my tips to make your whatsapp safe.
