WhatsApp Adds Device Management to Settings for Enhanced Security
WhatsApp users can now manage their linked devices directly within the app's settings. It's crucial to regularly check and remove any unauthorized devices to maintain your chat security.
WhatsApp allows users to link multiple devices, including computers and smartphones, to their account. To connect a device, users need to scan a QR code displayed in the settings menu. Linked devices can access chats and contacts without requiring your mobile number.
To manage linked devices, users can view all currently connected devices under the 'Linked Devices' section in WhatsApp settings. This list includes computers using WhatsApp Web or the desktop app. The last synchronization is automatic, and users can check and remove unknown devices at any time to ensure all linked devices are known and authorized.
Regularly reviewing and managing linked devices in WhatsApp settings is essential for maintaining chat security. Users should check which devices are connected and remove any unauthorized ones to prevent unauthorized access to their chats and contacts.
