WhatsApp is launching a new security setting called “strict account settings” that aims to reduce hacking and spam incidents. This feature will be gradually available to all users over the next few weeks.
The update simplifies account security by restricting who can send messages or add users to groups, helping to prevent unwanted contact and potential security breaches.
**Why this matters**
With increasing concerns about online privacy and security, this new setting provides users with an additional layer of protection. By limiting interactions from unknown contacts, WhatsApp aims to create a safer messaging environment and reduce the risk of spam and hacking attempts.
