Here are five features you should keep in mind to protect hackers attack you via WhatsApp.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp offers a range of security features to prevent your account from getting hacked like end-to-end encryption, biometrics security and more. These security features ensure that your WhatsApp account stays safe and your private conversations don't fall into the wrong hands. It is also working on a new password protection feature that will encrypt chat backups in Cloud, making them accessible only to the users.
WhatsApp chats are end-to-end encrypted but this protection currently doesn`t apply to online backups stored on Google Drive and Apple iCloud.
