A number of complained about hacking WhatsApp accounts. Here's how to protect WhatsApp from being hijacked.
WhatsApp breaches are often committed in a variety of ways and have been explained several times by security experts.

How to protect your WhatsApp account from being hijacked:
1. Never agree to the confirmation of changing your WA number
If you find out that you received a notification to change your WA number, never agree to it. Especially if you feel like doing nothing about the WA setting. This means a third party is trying to do so.
2. Always use Two -Step Verification
From this moment on, activate the Two -Step Verification (TFA) feature. If there is a third party who wants to control our WhatsApp account, then they will face this TFA.
How to activate it is: From Settings select Account and select Dual-authentication. TFA will help you protect WhatsApp from being taken over by third parties.
