See if this happens to your WhatsApp

1) Check app usage time: Most smartphones let you check how much time you’re spending on each app. When noticing something different on your WhatsApp, you can check whether the messenger usage time matches the time you actually use the application.

2) messages read: If you suspect that someone is accessing your WhatsApp conversations, an important tip is not to read some of the received messages. If someone happens to be reading your conversations, then they will probably see the messages before you do. Be very attentive to this! If you haven’t opened the app and the message is read as read, that means an external user is reading your content in another app.

3) Cell phone battery charging time: When you spend a certain amount of time exchanging messages on WhatsApp, your cell phone’s battery starts to drain. So, if you don’t use your cell phone very much and even so your battery drains quickly throughout the day, this is also a warning that you may have an invader on your device.

If you suspect that your WhatsApp conversations are being read, take your cell phone to a specialist technician so that they can identify possible viruses or spy apps installed by third parties. It is always important to be aware of the security of data and privacy of conversations on WhatsApp and take preventive measures to avoid possible invasions.

Tips to keep your cell phone safe

Keeping your cell phone safe is a constant concern for all users, especially when it comes to the most used messaging application in the world, WhatsApp. The security of data and the privacy of conversations is fundamental, and there are some precautions that must be taken to guarantee the protection of the device.

It’s good to have an antivirus application installed on your cell phone to protect your device against viruses and malware. Configure your WhatsApp so that conversations are end-to-end encrypted, this prevents third parties from having access to message content.

Finally, it is essential to pay attention to the use of the device in public places and avoid leaving it unprotected or unsupervised. This may prevent others from gaining access to your device and the information stored on it.
