How to Check If Someone Is Using Your WhatsApp Account

[CtrlAltWin]

WhatsApp plays a vital role in communication for millions around the world. With its wide usage, it’s crucial to ensure the security of your account. Recently, WhatsApp introduced the ability to link multiple devices, which can sometimes lead to unauthorized access if you forget to unlink a device. Here's how to check if someone is using your WhatsApp account and how to log them out if necessary.


How to Check If Someone Is Using Your WhatsApp Account  

To find out if someone else is accessing your WhatsApp account on another device, follow these simple steps:

1. Open WhatsApp on your primary device (the one you used to link other devices).
2. Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Select Linked devices.
4. On the Linked devices page, you’ll see a list of all devices currently linked to your account under Device Status.
5. Each session will show the last active date and time. Look through the list to identify any devices you don’t recognize.
6. Pay attention to the Last active time to spot recent activity on devices you don’t use.  

How to Log Out of WhatsApp on Unfamiliar Devices

If you notice an unfamiliar device linked to your WhatsApp account, you can easily log out remotely to prevent unauthorized access.

1. Open WhatsApp, tap the three-dot icon, and go to Linked devices.
2. From the list of sessions under Device Status, tap on the device you want to log out from.
3. Tap Log out to remove your WhatsApp account from that device.  

Once logged out, the session will show "log out is pending". If the other person tries to access your WhatsApp on the linked device, they will no longer have access, and the session will disappear from your account.


How to Protect Your WhatsApp Account  

To further secure your WhatsApp account, you can take additional steps:

1. Set up two-factor authentication (Two-step verification): This feature adds an extra layer of security by requiring a PIN when registering your phone number with WhatsApp.
2. Enable App Lock: You can activate App Lock from WhatsApp’s settings to add another layer of protection, requiring fingerprint or face unlock to access the app.  

By following these steps, you can ensure your WhatsApp account remains safe and secure from unauthorized access.
