Whatsapp is currently the most popular app (and beyond) and almost all our messages, communications with friends and relatives, photos & videos, and much more pass through it. On Whatsapp there are therefore a lot of private information and for this reason the theme of "privacy" on Whatsapp is more and more important every day. Malicious or simply curious could try to spy on everything that happens on our Whatsapp account to discover private information for more or less legitimate purposes.
Among the legitimate Whatsapp monitoring and spy actions there are those made by parents worried about their children and who want to control what they do and more importantly with whom they exchange messages, photos and more. Among the actions that are not at all lawful there are those made by scammers or hackers who could use our private information for profit.
First see what the precautions to take for avoid being spied on Whatsapp, let's see what is one of the simplest and most popular methods for spy on Whatsapp.

How to Avoid Being Spied on Whatsapp
1) Block WhatsApp
Although WhatsApp does not offer this feature, you can use third-party applications that allow you to lock the application with a password or PIN. This protection will prevent anyone from accessing your WhatsApp account and thus protect your private information. The SmartLock app is one of these (compatible for Android) and can be downloaded here on the Play Store.
2) Permanently delete Whatsapp chats
You probably don't know that when you delete a chat on Whatsapp, this chat is not permanently removed from your mobile. Through programs such as Whatsapp Recovery it is in fact possible to recover whatsapp chats deleted from the mobile phone, which could compromise your privacy.
Fortunately, there are also programs that can do the opposite and that is to permanently delete Whatsapp chats on iPhone or Android with Android Eraser. It is advisable to use this type of program if you do not want old messages to come back to light!
3) Keep your phone's IMEI safe
WhatsApp associates your account with your phone's IMEI number (IMEI is a unique code associated with each device). It is very easy to recover the IMEI of a phone, in an article a few months ago we explained all the ways to recover the IMEI. Perhaps the fastest way is to type and call the number * # 06 # from the phone and the IMEI automatically appears.
4) Block installation from unknown sources
From your mobile phone click Settings -> Security and make sure the “Unknown Sources” option is unchecked. In this way you will prevent malicious apps from installing themselves on your mobile phone to spy on everything that happens in your Whatsapp account.
5) Avoid using WhatsApp under public WiFi
Many hackers are able to access their mobile phone when it is under an insecure public Wi-Fi network. Once logged into the device they could spy on Whatsapp and any other application.
6) Pay attention to what you write on WhatsApp
Last advice, but not least, is to use WhatsApp with caution and avoid writing or sharing information that is too personal or important such as bank details, credit cards, etc ... Prevention is better than cure!
