Is your phone's security compromised? Learn 4 quick steps you can take immediately to ensure your WhatsApp is safe from Hackers and phishing attempts. Protect your money and your private information!

Introduction

Friends, if we are honest: as we monitor our phones, we have all our confidential information. Everything is in it! In particular, we know that your WhatsApp contains all your business contacts and even Zaad/E-Dahab money. The biggest mistake that our people always make is to think that your WhatsApp is safe, because you have your own number. But it is not what you think, friend, there are hackers emerging right now. They can get all your information by simply logging in, because they use simple tricks and deception to steal your data and secrets! So in this article, I have prepared 4 Quick Steps for you to start making your phone unbreakable, focusing on the most important security, which is WhatsApp. Start now before it is too late! My dear brother, my advice is to protect yourself.

1. Activate 2-Step Verification

Friends, protect your security, 2-Step Verification (also known as Two-Factor Authentication) is a way to add a Secret Key (PIN Code). When someone else tries to use your WhatsApp on another phone, this secret number is required. For example, if someone else wants to access your WhatsApp, they will immediately be asked for the (PIN Code), because it checks whether this person is a hacker or the owner of WhatsApp. Once you create this PIN Code, your data instantly becomes much safer.

How to Create a PIN Code?

1. Go to the Settings section: Open your WhatsApp, and then go to Settings (or Settings on iPhone or Android).

2. Go to Account: Where all your account information is located, select Account.

3. Select Security: Where everything about your account is, select Two-Step Verification.

4. Create a PIN: You will immediately be prompted to create a 6-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) that is unique to you. Make sure it is a strong number that no one can guess.

My advice: Write this PIN Code down somewhere you won't forget and save it when you remember it. It's the key to getting your WhatsApp back if you lose your phone.

2. Guard Your WhatsApp Verification Code

What is the problem? My brother or sister, there are many ways that hackers can attack you, for example, they send you a message on WhatsApp or they call you pretending to be a company (like Telesom) and say: "We need to verify your identity, please send us the 6-digit code you just received." Friends, be careful, there are many scams that you don't expect.

What is the Solution: My brother or sister, never send anyone the code that comes in the SMS when you register for WhatsApp. That code is the direct key to your WhatsApp. Be careful not to share the code with anyone else, friends, protect your information, so that you don't get into trouble.

My advice: Friend, listen to me carefully: NEVER send your PIN Code or Verification Code to anyone else. This is your most important secret! Remember the Golden Rule: WhatsApp or Phone Companies will never ask you to send them your PIN Code or Verification Code. If someone calls or messages you and asks for it, know that they are a Scam!

3. Fingerprint Lock or Face ID

Friend, set a password for the app. You must set up your WhatsApp to work with your fingerprint or face (Face ID) to open it. If you don't do this, WhatsApp will be open at all times.

How to Make a Fingerprint Lock or Fingerprint Lock

1. Go to Settings: Open your WhatsApp, and then go to Settings.

2. Go to Privacy: Where everything is private, select Privacy.

3. Select Lock: Scroll down until you find Fingerprint Lock (or Screen Lock if you are using an iPhone).

4. Choose a Time: When you select Your Finger (or Face), you will be asked: "When will WhatsApp connect?" Top Tip: Select Immediately. This way, when you exit the app, it will close in the same place.

4. Disable Lock Screen Notifications

Hidden Problem: My brother or sister, don't let anyone see the message that comes to you (such as an email, SMS, or an important business message), it appears on the Lock Screen, and anyone can see it even if your phone is locked. So you should hide your messages.

What is the Solution: Friend, hide messages, you should turn off notifications for private messages from appearing on the Lock Screen so that your data is not seen, because you are safe from seeing your data.

How to Hide Notifications

1. Go to Settings: Open your general phone settings (not WhatsApp).

2. Go to Notifications: Instead of going to Privacy, go to Notifications. This is where the notifications come from.

3. Select Privacy: You will see a section called Show Previews. This is what shows the contents of the message.

4. Select "Only When Unlocked": Change your selection. You should select When Unlocked (Only when the phone is unlocked).

Quick Result: Friend, note that now, when an important or valuable message (such as a verification code) arrives, the Lock Screen will not display the contents of that message.

Conclusion

Friends, let's really close the article: The truth is simple: Digital security isn't a problem for tomorrow; it's a priority for right now. No one else is protecting your important data. To protect your income and your business, you must be your own first guard.

Personal Advice: Please, never assume it won't happen! If you consider that you have lost Zaad/E-Dahab or important data, no one can help you get it back if you don't tighten your protection. Start taking action. My brother or sister, never share your Password with anyone. Remember: Protecting your privacy is protecting your property. Start taking control of your security now!
