WhatsApp Users Urged to Boost Privacy: Essential Settings to Protect Your Data
Users of the popular messaging application WhatsApp are being urged to review their privacy settings following a new guide highlighting critical security features. The tutorial, shared by tech enthusiast Jef Dicas Tech, outlines several steps to protect personal data and communication. First, users should navigate to 'Linked Devices' within WhatsApp settings to ensure no unauthorized devices are connected to their account. Any unfamiliar connections should be immediately disconnected. The guide emphasizes the importance of enabling 'Security Notifications,' which alerts users when a contact's security code changes, indicating a potential security risk. Further recommendations include activating 'Silence Unknown Callers' to automatically block calls from numbers not in your contacts, reducing spam and potential scams. For enhanced privacy during calls, users are advised to turn on 'Protect IP address in calls' under 'Advanced Settings.' This feature routes calls through WhatsApp's servers, making it more difficult for third parties to discover a user's location. Finally, the guide suggests disabling 'Link Previews' in 'Advanced Settings.' This prevents WhatsApp from generating a preview of shared links, which can sometimes reveal a user's IP address to the link's host. By implementing these simple yet effective measures, WhatsApp users can significantly bolster their digital security and privacy.
