In view of this, there is a need to be cautious. Today we are going to tell you such a method by which your chatting will be completely safe and there will be no fear of scam.
This method will save you from scams
WhatsApp has recently started rolling out the feature of strict account settings. It gives you many defenses against scams and hacking with just one tap. This means that you will not need to go to settings and enable different options. With a single tap, this feature will enable all the safety options, so that your chatting will remain safe. To enable it, open WhatsApp and go to Privacy. Scroll down here and go to Advanced, where you will see the new feature. This feature is currently being rolled out, so it may take some time for it to arrive on your device.
What security is available in this feature?
This feature gives the option of attachment filtering. That means all photos, videos and documents coming from unknown numbers will be blocked by default. This will protect you from malware like zero-click. It also silences calls coming from unknown numbers and keeps them in a separate call log. This provides protection from voice-based scams and spoofing. Apart from this, it disables link previews, so that external servers cannot access your IP address. Similarly, your last seen and about details also become limited and this information will be shown only to your saved contacts.
