When using WhatsApp, it is sometimes necessary to open it from the computer and the cell phone for work or some other reason.
However, there is a risk of having it open on other 2021 devices without realizing it, so our information would be exposed.
Android
If you have an Android phone, to find out if your WhatsApp is open on another device, you must go to the WhatsApp Web option.
To enter you must select the three points in the upper right. There, a window will be displayed to choose the Linked Devices option.
In that part you will be able to see the sessions that you have active together with the team and the time in which the session was started.
If you have several sessions open, you can review and close one by one or choose the option to close all sessions.
There is no risk of losing information because your account will only be closed on the devices you chose.
Now you can also choose the beta version where there is the possibility of having the account open on at least four devices.
One of the advantages is that your cell phone will no longer have to be connected all the time nor will it be necessary to have it nearby for it to work correctly.
For example, if you choose to have it open from your work computer, you will no longer have to scan the QR code each time because your session is already saved on that device. As for privacy, you can choose the end-to-end encryption option.
To activate it, you only need to have the application updated and that other users with whom you have constant contact are also updated so that there are no problems during communication.
iPhone
If your phone is an iPhone, the procedure is the same, only in this case when you open WhatsApp Web you must look for the Settings icon in the lower left.
In this case, it not only details the type of browser in which a session is being used, but also whether it is a computer or a mobile device. As with Android, you can review a session separately or close them all in one step.
Other security tips on WhatsApp 2021
As an app used to talk to friends, family and for work, there is also the possibility that it is more vulnerable to data theft.
That is why it is important to enable the two-step verification option to prevent other people from seeing the messages we write to our contacts.
To activate it you must look for the Settings option and in the Account area you will find the option of Verification in two steps.
When selecting it, it will ask you for a six-digit password that must be personal and easy to remember so as not to have problems of losing or forgetting it.
Another security option that you can enable is the fingerprint. If you have a cell phone that is unlocked using your fingerprint, you can also add this security method to WhatsApp.
It is through the Settings and Security option when choosing the Activate Fingerprint Lock tab.
You only have to place your finger on the sensor for the fingerprint reader and in this way, when you open the application, your WhatsApp messages will only be displayed when you use your fingerprint for greater security.
