Tips for using WhatsApp securely

Your security is our top priority. Here are some tips to stay safe while using WhatsApp:

Verify your contacts and make sure it’s us:
Always verify that you’re communicating with our official WhatsApp number. If you receive messages from unknown numbers claiming to be us, report them immediately.

You’ll always see a WhatsApp verified business badge next to our contact name when you’re chatting to us on WhatsApp – if it’s not there, then it’s not us.
Find out more from WhatsApp’s advice on how to verify a contact.

Avoid sharing sensitive information:
Never share your full PIN or passwords over WhatsApp.

And remember:

  • We’ll never ask you for your full PIN or password
  • We’ll never ask you to move money or make a payment on WhatsApp
  • If you’re ever unsure, stop the conversation and contact us on a number you trust

You can find more information on text message fraud on our Business Security Hub.

Enable two-step verification and chat lock:

Add an extra layer of security to your WhatsApp account by enabling two-step verification and Chat Lock. These features help protect your account from unauthorised access.
