the Checks from end to end (E2e) Available WhatsApp The correspondence application gives you a good start when it comes to privacy and safety. This means that no one else – infiltrators, law enforcement or definition staff – can see your chats. Your purposes only remain between you and the person or the people you are talking to.
Moreover, the application comes with a variety of other features to close your data as much as possible. Get all these precautions in place, and you are completely protected as possible when it comes to keeping your conversations in particular.
Preventing others from exporting your chats
If you want to export your chat, it is easy to present in an ordinary text file, with completing the attached media, if requested.
- On Android, press the three points (top right) in chat, then More> Chat export.
- On iPhone, press the head at the top of the chat, then Chat export.
The problem is that anyone you are talking about can export chat elsewhere, just as you can. If you prefer your contacts It was not Express your joint conversations, you can disable it for everyone in the chat. (This feature is her Just presentedSo you may not see it yet.)
- Access to the chat information page by clicking on the head at the top.
- He chooses The privacy of advanced chat To run the block.
Lock and hide the specified chats
There can be a lot of WhatsApp security if another person should access your phone, which is why the chat lock feature can be useful. It sets specific conversations that you specify in their folder, which can only be accessed using an additional password or a biometric authentication method.
The closed chats can be found above all of your other messages in the main chat menu, and the existing lock method will be needed for your phone (such as the facial identifier, for example) for these chats.
- Press the head at the top of the conversation.
- He chooses Chat lock (Android) or Chat lock (iOS).
Place whatsapp behind a biometric lock
In addition to placing individual chats behind an additional layer of safety, you can also do this for WhatsApp as a whole. If someone should enter your phone in one way or another, they will not be able to reach anything inside WhatsApp without examining the face or fingerprints.
Assuming that your Android or iOS phone already has a biometric safety prepared for the lock screen, you can apply it to WhatsApp.
- On Android, from the main chat menu, click the Three Points (top right), then Settings> Privacy> Application lock.
- On iOS, go to Settings Tab, then choose Privacy> Application lock.
You can also adjust the time that WhatsApp awaits before asking for biometric authentication again.
Make sure to encrypt completely backup
Your WhatsApp conversations are fully encrypted, but your chat backup is not – not default, anyway. While penetration of these backup copies is very difficult, it is more difficult if it is encrypted. If you enable this, this means that you will need the encryption key or the password that WhatsApp provides to you to restore backup.
- Go to the application settings (the three points after that Settings on Chat The tab in Android, Settings IOS tab)
- He chooses Chat> Chat backup. From here you can manage a backup copy of your conversations to your Google account or to iCloud, and enable the encryption via Coding backup copy to the end of the end option.
Run the bilateral approval
It is very good to run the 2FA (2FA) authentication on each account, which is mostly these days. This means that an additional symbol is required whenever you log in to an application on a new device. This symbol is usually delivered via the authenticator app, but with WhatsApp, it is a six -numbers pin that you set yourself.
- Open WhatsApp Settings On your phone,
- On Android, head to Chat Tab, click the Three Points (right right), choose Settings.
- On iOS, go to Settings Tab, then press Account> Check two steps To prepare feature.
You have the option to enter an email address that you can use to reset the personal identification number if you forget it before – otherwise Whatsapp makes you wait seven days before creating a new pin.
Empowering the disappearance of messages
You can run the hidden messages and make sure to wipe your chats over time – so even if someone else gets your phone, they will not be able to see what you were talking about, because the conversations will have disappeared.
To do this in any conversation:
- Press the head bar at the top, then choose The messages disappear.
- Your choices for the messaging timer, which begins as soon as all the participants in the chat sees the message, 24 hoursand 7 daysOr 90 days.
- You can also set the default messages for all new chats that you start.
