WhatsApp is a communication platform used by many people, but sometimes we all worry that our messages may be peeked by people around us. In order to protect privacy and security, WhatsApp has some measures to help you protect your personal privacy. This article is for you, the moderator! Read below!
Method 1: Turn on the “Screen Lock”/”Fingerprint Lock” function
If you are an iPhone user, you need to turn on the “screen lock” function, and if you are an Android phone user, you need to turn on the “fingerprint lock” function. In this way, every time you open WhatsApp, you must use FaceID or fingerprint to unlock WhatsApp. Methods as below:

002: Click “Privacy”.
003: Scroll to the bottom and there is the option of “Screen Lock”.
004: Enter and open “Must use FaceID”, complete.
Go to settings and open “Privacy”.
Scroll to the bottom to find the “Screen Lock” function.
Click “Must use FaceID”.
Android users

Click the three dots in the upper right corner and click “Settings”.

Method 2: View privacy settings
Although WhatsApp has many functions that can be set in the “Privacy” page, WhatsApp also provides an option: “View privacy settings” to help you control your privacy and choose the settings that best suit you. Methods as below:
001: Open the settings in WhatsApp (the same as method 1, so I don’t specifically separate iPhone or Android).
002: Click “Privacy”.
003: There is “View Privacy Settings” at the top position, click on it and “Start Checking”.
004: When you go in, you will see four options, including…
i. “Choose who can contact you”:
It allows you to decide whether everyone can add you to the group, or only contacts. You can also mute unknown callers (to avoid WhatsApp video call scams), and view blocked calls. contact person.
ii. “Control your personal information”:
Control who can see your avatar, last online time and online status, and whether to display the read mark (blue Tick).
iii. “Enhanced privacy for your conversations”：
Set a time limit for new conversation messages so that messages disappear following a specified time limit. You can also set whether to preview message text in notifications. You can also perform end-to-end encrypted backup. Even Apple or WhatsApp cannot access the file. .
iv. “Add an extra layer of protection to your account”：
Set up the “Screen Lock”/”Fingerprint Lock” function in Method 1, and set up two-step verification (to avoid the risk of WhatsApp being stolen).
Method 3: Set “Single View”
When you send a multimedia file, you will see a circle next to the message bar in the preview, surrounding a “1”. Click it to switch to “Single View”. As long as the recipient sees it After finishing the message, you cannot read it once more, and the other party cannot take screenshots. This is also a way to protect privacy.
