WhatsApp Privacy settings

Post by Bahnstormer_vRS »

A general post about 'privacy' that I've picked up courtesy of my local Neighbourhood Watch today.

In an email they wrote;-

"If you have a "WhatsApp" application on your Mobiles, this message is for you.

WhatsApp has changed the group setting to include “Everyone” so people you don’t know can add you to a group, especially those unwanted Companies or individuals. Possible future Scams.
You can change your settings:

1. Go to your WhatsApp Icon
2. Click on Settings at the bottom of the page
3. Click on Account
4. Click on Privacy
5. Click on Groups
6. Change setting from "Everyone" to "My Contacts"

You can change other settings, but that is your personal choice.

I personally have changed all my settings to "My Contacts"

Keep Safe and vigilant."


Checking my settings they were as predicted and have now been changed.
