Published on October 24, 2024
Platforms like WhatsApp have improved their response times in security violations, but prevention is the best way to avoid sensitive information violations.
WhatsApp activated the supplementary operation last year.This feature allows us to use a single WhatsApp account on four devices at the same time.The function is useful for people who use more than one devices for different needs, but also facilitates bad digital espionage practices.
Connecting Whatsapp account with an additional device requires scanning a QR code from the main smartphone.In the case of malicious use of the operation, this means that the person who wants to spy or use the profile without authorization must have physical access to your phone.Although this condition was adopted as an obstacle to piracy, it never hurts to check on which devices your account is active.
How to understand which devices is your account connected to Whatsapp?
Within the application it is necessary to enter the main action menu located on the top right of the screen.The "Connected devices" option will appear.When you select it, a list of the devices on which your WhatsApp account is active.
The platform provides information about the last time the service was used by each of the connected devices.It also shows the device from which the application is used, making it possible to determine whether it is a computer or a smartphone.
If an unknown device appears, just click the 'Logist' button.The profile will be automatically disconnected.
