In today's time, WhatsApp has become a part of our daily life. Through this, it has become easy to send messages, call, share photos, videos, and share important information. But have you ever wondered what will happen if your chat or information goes into the wrong hands? Keeping this in mind, WhatsApp has kept some special privacy features for the safety of its users. If you have not turned on these features yet, then your details may be in danger. Let us know about such important privacy features that you should turn on immediately.

Two-Step Verification
This feature gives a double security layer to your WhatsApp account. Whenever you log in to WhatsApp on a new device, it will ask you for a 6-digit PIN. To turn it on, you do not have to do much, just go to the Settings option. Here, click on the Account option. Now the option of Two-step verification will be shown. Click on it and enable the toggle.

Encrypted Backup
If you keep a backup of your chats in Google Drive or iCloud, then with this feature, you can make it secure as well. This will prevent any third party from reading your chats. To turn it on, go to Settings on WhatsApp and click on Chats. After this, click on the Chat Backup option. Now click on End-to-End Encrypted Backup.

Chat Lock
Now you can lock specific chats. For this, the phone's fingerprint or password can be used. This keeps your chats safe from the eyes of others. To turn on ChatLock, click on Chat on WhatsApp. Go to Chat Info. Enable the toggle of Chat Lock.

View Once Media
If you want to send a photo or video that the other person can see only once, then this feature is very useful. With this, the media cannot be viewed again and again and cannot be forwarded either.

Disappearing Messages
This automatically deletes your sent messages after some time, either in 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. This feature is useful when you do not want the messages to remain in the chat for a long time.
