How to activate the hidden WhatsApp function to avoid falling into scams
In WhatsApp, end-to-end encryption is a feature that is activated by default for all users, and ensures that only you and the person you are chatting with can read the sent messages. Not even WhatsApp can access the content.
- Open the chat to verify: Select the conversation of the person or group with whom you want to confirm the encryption.
- Access contact or group information: Tap the contact or group name at the top of the chat to open the settings options.
- Find the “Encryption” option: Within the contact or group settings there is a section called Encryption.
- Verify security code: A QR code and a 60-digit number will be displayed. This is a unique identifier for the encryption of your conversation with that person or group. You can scan the QR code with your contact’s phone.
