Smart tips from the team behind EXTRA SAFE
WhatsApp is part of daily life for billions. But while it feels secure, it’s not always built for truly private conversations—especially when the stakes are high. That’s why we’ve put together this quick guide to help you stay safe. Like, EXTRA SAFE.
Step 1: Turn on Two-Step Verification
Add an extra layer of protection by setting a PIN. You’ll find it under Settings > Account > Two-step verification.Step 2: Encrypt Your Backups
By default, your cloud backups (on Google Drive or iCloud) may not be encrypted—even if your chats are. Turn on End-to-End Encrypted Backup to keep your message history private.Step 3: Don’t Click Sketchy Links
Phishing scams and fake job offers are everywhere. If a message feels off—delete it.Step 4: Lock Down Group Settings
Go to Settings > Privacy > Groups and limit who can add you to group chats. This stops strangers from dragging you into spammy or risky groups.Step 5: Update Regularly
Security vulnerabilities are discovered all the time. Keep your app up to date to stay protected.
When Is WhatsApp Safe Enough?
For casual texting with friends and family, coordinating hobbies, or sharing weekend plans, WhatsApp is usually a solid choice. It’s convenient, familiar, and offers decent security for day-to-day use.
But when it comes to more sensitive conversations—like discussing business strategies, legal matters, or anything that truly needs to stay private—it’s worth considering additional layers of protection.
While WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, some parts of its infrastructure remain centralized, and metadata may still be collected. In certain cases, this could potentially expose communication patterns, device details, or backup contents—especially if not properly secured.
That’s where tools like EXTRA SAFE come in.
