To protect your WhatsApp from being hacked, you need to make some special changes to its settings. To change WhatsApp settings, first, open WhatsApp on your mobile phone. After opening WhatsApp, click on WhatsApp settings. After going to the settings of WhatsApp, you have to click on the account option present in it. After clicking on the account, you will see an option for two-step verification. This feature of a two-step verification of WhatsApp can protect your WhatsApp from being hacked.
For this, you have to enable the two-step verification feature in WhatsApp. After enabling this feature, you can create a 6-digit PIN for it.

After creating a PIN through a two-step verification code, you will also have an option to link an e-mail address, because if you ever forget your PIN, WhatsApp can send the verification link to your e-mail ID. For your information, let us know that this PIN (PIN) created by the user for the two-step verification feature is different from the verification code that is sent to the user through WhatsApp during WhatsApp setup.
