Are you thinking about how to know if my WhatsApp is hacked or not? If yes, here is a simple step to verify that your WhatsApp account is secure or not. I am showing you the best way to do if my WhatsApp account is hacked or not. Just follow my steps and you can easily detect your WhatsApp security status and keep your WhatsApp safe. I have shared three steps to detect WhatsApp security and some tips to keep your account safe. In this article I have shown you how to protect your WhatsApp account. In my previous article I already showed you how to view other people's WhatsApp messages. In that article I used the WhatsApp web feature to view other people's messages. In this article I have used the same technique to detect.

Method # 1 - WhatsApp Web 
Whatsapp web is a new feature of Whatsapp and this feature helps you to access your WhatsApp account on your computer. You have to scan the QR code from your mobile, then you can easily access your WhatsApp account on your computer in real time. You can also access your WhatsApp account on another mobile using this application called "Whatscan for WhatsApp Web". This application helps you access your whatsapp account on multiple smartphones, you just have to scan the QR code of the main whatsapp account. I already did an article on this topic.

Solution
Check your WhatsApp web log from your main WhatsApp account. If you found any unauthorized devices there, just delete all those unauthorized devices from Whatsapp Web. By removing all devices, you can protect yourself from this hacked WhatsApp.

Method #2 – Extract Messages From My files

Hackers use this technique to copy your whatsapp messages from your device and email to another email id. They can easily read your all whatsapp messages by copying some files from Whatsapp folder.

Solution

Use App Locker in your WhatsApp and phone. Using app locker you can lock any app or phone. So when hacker will try to copy those stored files from My Files, he/she has to first unlock your phone which is already locked by you.

Method #3 – Spy Apps

There are apps when installed in your phone can spy each and every activity of you. Using spy apps anyone can easily hack your phone not only accessing WhatsApp but also many other apps, photos, videos, files stored in your mobile.

Solution

Always check if there is any unknown app is stored on your phone or not.

After reading the above methods, now you have some idea that how can be hacked.

WhatsApp now enables Two-Step verification feature. Whatsapp is very popular as we know but it is also true that hackers are also trying to get weak point every day. So you have to be more aware while using Whatsapp.

Here are some tips to protect your WhatsApp account

 If you want to protect your WhatsApp account, please follow the steps below: 

1 - Lock WhatsApp 

The lock screen feature of your device is not secure enough to protect your WhatsApp. Then you have to block your WhatsApp for more security. WhatsApp does not provide any blocking mode, so you need to install third party apps to block WhatsApp and prevent WhatsApp chats from being hacked. 

2 - Do not share your phone with anyone You should not share your phone with strangers because anyone can install a third party application on your mobile to hack your mobile or WhatsApp data. 

 3 - Do not install applications from unknown or unauthorized sources

 Always install applications from Google Play Store. Check the developer details, ratings, and reviews of any app before installing it on your phone. 

4 - Do not use Unknown or Free Wifi 

You should not use any public or unknown wifi network because anyone can easily hack your mobile phone data using a wifi connection. 

5 - Always log out of Whatsapp Web 

When you are logged in to WhatsApp web on any device, you need to log out of that device. By following the steps above, you can easily protect your WhatsApp account.
