How to find out WA is bugged or not, including questions that many think about. Moreover, WhatsApp is often used as a medium for exchanging messages.
Of course there are signs that can be read when your WhatsApp account is hacked or used by someone else. Reporting from Alphr, Sunday (12/9/2021) let's discuss further its characteristics:
Signs that someone else's WhatsApp has been bugged:
1. Check contact information
Open the 'Settings' option in WA, then touch the profile at the top of the menu. Pay attention to account information and verification, is it accurate and up-to-date according to the last one you installed? If something changes, then you have to be vigilant. Lest someone tap and use your WA account without realizing it.
2. Pay attention to communication on WA
Do you find suspicious messages and feel like you never sent them? Or did you find an odd message containing a strange WhatsApp code? Try checking the search button (which is in the form of a magnifying glass) by writing 'WhatsApp' to track it more easily. If you find it, be careful, it's a sign that your WhatsApp has been tapped and used by someone else.
3. New friends -- unknown
Try checking contacts and searching, is there an unknown number that suddenly becomes a friend? If someone taps and uses your account too, you will definitely find traces of either messages or phone traces on WhatsApp history that you don't recognize.
4. Have you checked from WhatsApp Web?
Now WhatsApp can be used on four different devices. Therefore, it is mandatory to monitor WhatsApp Web by opening the three dots in the right corner, selecting 'WhatsApp Web'. Here you will see where the WA account is connected. If you find a device that is not recognized, connected to your WhatsApp, it means it is bugged. Remove the unknown device immediately if you find it.
Preventive measure
The step to secure your WA account so that it is not tapped by other people you don't want is a two-step verification that must be done. Providing a pin, lock using fingerprint, can help criminals find it difficult to get into WhatsApp security holes. Lastly, don't carelessly open the links given by other people and don't share the OTP code if you receive it.
