WhatsApp app has now become an important part of our life. At present, it has become the most popular app for communication. But do you know that there are some such settings on this app which can prove to be dangerous for your phone. If you do not change these settings then your phone may be hacked. Know about these settings and why your phone is at risk.
Disappearing messages
WhatsApp WhatsApp recently rolled out this new feature for all users. Using this your messages will be automatically deleted. But this is also a dangerous feature in terms of privacy. However, these automatically deleted messages in the app remain for at least 7 days. In such a situation, your messages remain in the notification, as well as these chats can be captured by another user. Also, the receiving user can keep your message in backup. For security, you delete the chat immediately.
Default saved images
If photos or videos coming to your WhatsApp are saved automatically, then change the setting immediately. Actually, according to cyber experts, photos sometimes act like Trojan horses. With the help of these hackers can hack your phone very easily. To avoid this, immediately go to your WhatsApp settings. Now close the Save to Camera Roll by clicking on Chats.
Do not back up WhatsApp to iCloud
So far it is said that Apple’s security is the strongest. But experts believe that WhatsApp should never be backed up in iCloud. Once any WhatsApp chat is moved to iCloud, it becomes the property of Apple. Your chats are decrypted once they are accessed in iCloud. That is, security agencies can take your chats from Apple. Experts refuse to back up in iCloud for this reason.
