Stay Safe with WhatsApp: Meta-owned popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp has launched a new user safety campaign, assuring users of its online security controls and secure messaging experience. The campaign educates users about the in-built product features and security tools of WhatsApp. This will help people avoid the dangers of online scams, frauds and account tampering. This campaign is going to last for three months.
Key safety features highlighted in WhatsApp campaign
two-step verification
WhatsApp allows users to add an extra layer of security to their accounts by activating the two-step verification feature, which requires a six-digit PIN when resetting and verifying your WhatsApp account. This proves helpful in case the SIM card is stolen or the phone is tampered with.
block and report
The Meta-owned instant messaging platform also gives users a simple way to ‘block and report’ the account. Blocked contacts or numbers cannot call or send you messages.
privacy settings
Users can control their personal details like – profile photo, last seen, online activity, about, status. Plus you can control who sees it – everyone, contacts only, selected contacts, or no one. If you want to keep your online details private, you can control your online details by choosing who can and cannot see you when you are online.
Safety Features for Group
Users can also decide who can add them to WhatsApp groups, thus increasing your privacy. You can prevent people from adding you to groups you don’t want to be a part of. Along with this, now users can also secretly leave the group.
