Is Someone Reading Your Whatsapp Messages? Here's How To Remove Their Access

If you've noticed that a WhatsApp message is marked as 'Read' even though you haven't opened it, there's a chance your WhatsApp account has been accessed from another device. Fortunately, WhatsApp has a feature that allows you to check and manage devices linked to your account.

Checking Linked Devices

To check for any devices linked to your WhatsApp account, tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the app, then select 'Linked Devices.' This will show you a list of all the devices currently connected to your account.

Removing Unauthorized Access

If you find any device that you don't recognize or didn't authorize, you should immediately remove it from the list. This will prevent that device from accessing your messages or receiving any updates from your WhatsApp account.

New Group Messaging Safety Features

In a recent update, WhatsApp introduced a new feature to enhance safety in group messaging. A context card has been added, which provides detailed information about any group you're added to.

Understanding Group Details

If you're added to a group by someone you don't know, the context card will give you key details about the group, such as who added you, when the group was created, and who the creator is.

Reviewing Safety Tools

You can decide whether to stay in the group or leave, and you can also review the safety tools available to help you stay secure on WhatsApp.

Making Informed Decisions

This feature is particularly useful for confirming if a group is one you want to be a part of, especially if you haven't saved the contact of the person who added you.
