For some people, WhatsApp is the primary way they communicate with friends and family. But how can you protect an app you use so often? Here’s how to secure your WhatsApp account.
对于某些人来说，WhatsApp是他们与亲朋好友交流的主要方式。 但是，如何保护经常使用的应用程序呢？ 这是保护您的WhatsApp帐户的方法。
设置两步验证 (Set up Two-Step Verification)
Two-step verification is the best step you can take to protect your WhatsApp account. Commonly, called 2FA, when you enable it, WhatsApp adds a second layer of protection to your account.
两步验证是保护WhatsApp帐户可采取的最佳步骤。 通常称为2FA，当您启用它时，WhatsApp将为您的帐户添加第二层保护。
After you enable 2FA, you’ll have to type a six-digit PIN to log in to your WhatsApp account.
启用2FA后，您必须输入六位数的PIN才能登录到WhatsApp帐户。
Even if your phone is stolen or someone uses a phishing method to steal your SIM card, they won’t be able to access your WhatsApp account.
即使您的手机被盗或有人使用网络钓鱼方法来窃取您的SIM卡，他们也将无法访问您的WhatsApp帐户。
To enable Two-Step Verification, open the WhatsApp app on your iPhone or Android device. Go to Settings > Account > Two-Step Verification, and then tap “Enable.”
要启用两步验证，请在iPhone或Android设备上打开WhatsApp应用。 转到“设置”>“帐户”>“两步验证”，然后点击“启用”。
On the next screen, type a six-digit PIN, tap “Next,” and then confirm your PIN on the following screen.
在下一个屏幕上，键入一个六位数的PIN，点击“下一步”，然后在以下屏幕上确认您的PIN。
Next, type the email address you want to use to reset your PIN if you forget it or tap “Skip.” On the next screen, confirm your email address.
接下来，输入您要用来重设PIN码的电子邮件地址(如果忘记了该密码)，或点击“跳过”。 在下一个屏幕上，确认您的电子邮件地址。
Two-Step Verification is now enabled. To make sure you don’t forget your six-digit PIN, WhatsApp periodically asks you to type it before you can access the app.
现在启用了两步验证。 为了确保您不会忘记六位数的PIN，WhatsApp会定期要求您键入它，然后才能访问该应用。
If you forget your PIN, you’ll have to reset it before you can access your WhatsApp account again.
如果您忘记了PIN码，则必须将其重置，然后才能再次访问WhatsApp帐户。
启用指纹或面部ID锁定 (Enable Fingerprint or Face ID Lock)
You might already protect your iPhone or Android phone with biometrics. As an additional measure, you can protect WhatsApp with a fingerprint or Face ID lock, as well.
您可能已经使用生物识别技术保护iPhone或Android手机。 作为一项附加措施，您还可以使用指纹或Face ID锁保护WhatsApp。
To do so, on your Android phone, open WhatsApp and tap the Menu button. Next, go to Settings > Account > Privacy. Scroll to the bottom of the list, and then tap “Fingerprint Lock.”
为此，请在您的Android手机上，打开WhatsApp，然后点击“菜单”按钮。 接下来，转到设置>帐户>隐私。 滚动到列表的底部，然后点击“指纹锁定”。
Toggle-On the “Unlock with Fingerprint” option.
切换至“使用指纹解锁”选项。
Now, touch the fingerprint sensor on your device to confirm your fingerprint. You can also select the amount of time before authentication is needed after each visit.
现在，触摸设备上的指纹传感器以确认指纹。 您还可以选择每次访问后需要进行身份验证之前的时间。
On iPhone, you can use Touch or Face ID (depending on your device) to protect WhatsApp.
在iPhone上，您可以使用Touch或Face ID(取决于您的设备)来保护WhatsApp。
To do so, open WhatsApp and go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Screen Lock. Here, toggle-On the “Require Face ID” or “Require Touch ID” option.
为此，请打开WhatsApp并转到设置>帐户>隐私>屏幕锁定。 在这里，启用“需要人脸ID”或“需要触摸ID”选项。
After the feature is enabled, you can increase the length of time after which WhatsApp will lock after each visit. From the default option, you can switch to one or 15 minutes, or one hour.
启用该功能后，您可以延长每次访问后WhatsApp锁定的时间长度。 从默认选项，您可以切换到一分钟或15分钟或一小时。
检查加密 (Check Encryption)
WhatsApp encrypts all chats by default, but you might want to make sure. If you share sensitive information over the app, it’s best to make sure the encryption is working.
WhatsApp默认情况下会加密所有聊天，但您可能需要确保。 如果您通过该应用程序共享敏感信息，则最好确保加密正常工作。
To do this, open a chat, tap the person’s name at the top, and then tap “Encryption.” You see a QR and long security code below.
为此，请打开聊天，在顶部点击该人的名字，然后点击“加密”。 您会在下面看到QR码和长安全码。
You can compare it with your contact to verify it, or ask your contact to scan the QR code. If it matches, you’re all good!
您可以将其与您的联系人进行比较以进行验证，也可以要求您的联系人扫描QR码。 如果匹配，那就太好了！
不要陷入常见的骗局和转发 (Don’t Fall for Common Scams and Forwards)
Because WhatsApp is so popular, there are new scams every day. The only rule you need to remember is not to open any link forwarded to you from an unknown contact; these are normally smishing attacks.
由于WhatsApp非常受欢迎，因此每天都有新的骗局。 您唯一需要记住的规则是不要打开任何未知联系人转发给您的链接； 这些通常是肮脏的攻击。
WhatsApp now includes a handy “Forwarded” tag at the top, which makes it easier to spot these messages.
WhatsApp现在在顶部包括一个方便的“ Forwarded”标签，这使发现这些消息更加容易。
No matter how tempting the offer might be, do not open a link or provide your personal information to any website or person you don’t know on WhatsApp.
无论提议多么诱人，都不要打开链接或将您的个人信息提供给您在WhatsApp上不认识的任何网站或人。
禁用自动组添加 (Disable Auto Group Addition)
By default, WhatsApp makes it very easy to add anyone to a group. If you give your number to a salesperson, you might end up in several promotional groups.
默认情况下，WhatsApp使添加任何人到组变得非常容易。 如果将号码提供给销售人员，则可能会分成几个促销组。
You can now stop this problem at the source. WhatsApp has a new setting that blocks anyone from automatically adding you to a group.
现在，您可以从源头上解决此问题。 WhatsApp的新设置可阻止任何人将您自动添加到组中。
To enable this on your iPhone or Android device, go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Groups, and then tap “Nobody.”
要在iPhone或Android设备上启用此功能，请转到“设置”>“帐户”>“隐私”>“组”，然后点按“无人”。
If you’ve already joined a group you want to exit, open the group chat, and then tap the group name at the top. On the next screen, scroll down and tap “Exit Group.”
如果您已经加入了要退出的群组，请打开群组聊天，然后点击顶部的群组名称。 在下一个屏幕上，向下滚动并点击“退出组”。
Tap “Exit Group” again to confirm.
再次点击“退出组”进行确认。
更改您的隐私设置 (Change Your Privacy Settings)
WhatsApp gives you complete control over who can view your private information, and in what context. If you want, you can hide your “Last Seen,” “Profile Photo,” and “Status” from everyone except your closest friends and family.
WhatsApp使您可以完全控制谁可以查看您的私人信息以及在什么情况下查看。 如果需要，可以向除您最亲密的朋友和家人之外的所有人隐藏“最后一次看到”，“个人资料照片”和“状态”。
To do so, go to Settings > Account > Privacy to change these settings.
为此，请转至设置>帐户>隐私以更改这些设置。
封锁并举报 (Block and Report)
If someone is spamming or harassing you on WhatsApp, you can easily block them. To do so, open the relevant conversation in WhatsApp, and then tap the person’s name at the top.
如果有人在WhatsApp上向您发送垃圾邮件或骚扰您，则可以轻松阻止他们。 为此，请在WhatsApp中打开相关对话，然后在顶部点击该人的名字。
On an iPhone, scroll down and tap “Block Contact”; on Android, tap “Block.”
在iPhone上，向下滚动并点击“阻止联系人”； 在Android设备上，点击“阻止”。
Tap “Block” in the popup.
在弹出窗口中点击“阻止”。
