The option is found in whatsapp and ʹ after activating anyone who tries to access your account. The hackers put the two requirements for recognition ahead: The first is the 6-digit code sent by WhatsApp with SMS to user account, broadcast news.net.

For most people, keeping the app updated is enough to protect themselves from this threat, but those who want an additional super defence can disable the option that automatically downloads and preserve all photos and videos that send contact to the app.
