Application WhatsApp has long been the most used instant messaging service in the world, as it has about 2.000 billion users. With so many people, it is convenient to follow some parameters to make the tool more secure in an important section such as privacy.
To make the use of WhatsApp more secure, we can make several adjustments, this will take a prudent time if you want everything to work correctly. A clear example is to be able to block those people who in the end do not get to contribute anything to your contact list, among other things.
Choose who can add you to groups
If you suddenly appear in a group of enough people and you want this to not happen again, you can prevent that person from doing it again thanks to the WhatsApp options. If you want only known people to add you, you have to follow the following steps to block unwanted contacts.
Open the WhatsApp application, click on the three vertical dots and click on "Settings", once inside click on "Account" and in this section click on "Privacy", in the "Groups" option select "My contacts "Or" My contacts, except ... ", the latter allows you to block that specific contact who adds you to various groups without prior notice.
In many cases you usually know which contact or person adds you to the groups if you see that they are the Administrator of that group, therefore once you know, put them on the black list. This is an important step if you want to avoid entering groups formed and in which you barely know the contacts.
Change privacy settings
It is one of the things you have to avoid, share your profile image, the last time of connection, your status and other things with people you do not know and know your number. If you want to hide all this You can do it within the Settings of the WhatsApp application in a few steps.
To block another person who is not in the contact list see all this information access the three vertical points, click on «Settings», now search for Privacy and within it you can put the «Last hour. Once »for your contacts, the profile photo« My contacts », Info. can only be seen by« My contacts »and Status should also appear with the option of« My contacts ».
Activate the Fingerprint protection option
