WhatsApp is the most used Instant Messaging App this date. We use it both for official and personal purposes. But in both cases, privacy of the chats matter and being this the widely used messaging app we stay assured that it’s absolutely secure. But just imagine, if someday your WhatsApp chats leaked like the scenario is now in Bollywood! Definitely you will be dumbstruck! Right? So what’s the remedy? How to make your private chats on WhatsApp secure? Today we shall guide you through the steps.
Don’t Back Up WhatsApp Chat
But before we would like to know that taking backup of your WhatsApp chats are not at all secure as we think. It’s so because the right moment you create a back up of your WhatsApp chats, the company given end-to-end encryption is removed. For instance, if your chat is back up on Google Drive or iCloud then it’s not secure.
Use Two Factor Authentication
WhatsApp has facilitated its users with Two-factor authentication which helps you make your WhatsApp secure with a 6 digit code. This prevents unauthorised access to your WhatsApp app. For instance, someone wants to clone your WhatsApp chat and that time he will need a two factor authentication code for validation. But the code will be sent to your mobile by WhatsApp and the hacker can’t get this code.
Consider taking WhatsApp Chat to Memory Card
Email for Restoration
WhatsApp has facilitated its users to create a back up of their WhatsApp chat using Email ID. With the help of your email id, you can restore data later. So if someone by-chance tries to restore your WhatsApp chat using malicious email id or techniques, then it will not be restored.
WhatsApp Chat on Pen Drive
WhatsApp also provide the users the facility to transfer their entire chat with Media files to a micro – SD card pen drive. For this you need to go to the File Manager of the phone on your PC and copy the WhatsApp folder to your prendrive.
Delete WhatsApp Back Up from Google Drive
If you want to delete WhatsApp chat after backup, then you can do this easily. For this you need to visit Google Drive using your GMail User ID and Password and from their you can delete the back up.
If you are an iPhone user and think of transferring your WhatsApp chat to Android phone, then it’s not possible. Similarly you also can’t transfer your chats from Android to iOS. However some third party apps claim that they can help doing the same.
