WhatsApp Security Warning: Disable Siri on iPhone Lock Screen to Keep Your Account Safe

#WhatsApp #LockScreen – WhatsApp Security Warning: Disable Siri on iPhone Lock Screen to Keep Your Account Safe – Recent reports reveal that WhatsApp users are at great risk of their accounts being hacked.This is, however, attributed to unsafe keeping of phones installed with WhatsApp, something that is really down to the user of the app and not the developers.

This app was bought by Facebook for a fee that is believed to have burgeoned to around $22 billion from an initial $19 billion. There is no question about the insane popularity that this instant messaging app enjoys across the globe. In fact, WhatsApp had about 600 million users at the start of this year.

This figure has already increased by over 200 million people, bringing the tally to over 800 million active monthly users. This is a huge achievement in such a short period of time.

Chitchats aside! Even though Facebook paid such a huge sum of money to acquire the services of this instant messaging app, the messenger has had a share of its own security and privacy issues. One such privacy issue that brought a lot of chaos within the app’s user base is the fact that the users could easily be sold out by the app whenever they are online. There were issues concerning possible access of your avatar by anyone on the platform and the list continues.

The latest WhatsApp issue is less of a nail-biter and it is true to say that it is not really a security hole; rather, it’s more of a warning regarding the dangers that surround leaving your phone unattended to. This issue is not just affecting a specific platform or set of users, rather, all of the more than 800 million people who use WhatsApp can be victims of this situation.
