If you’re like most people, you probably use WhatsApp to keep in touch with friends and family. But there are a few things you can do to protect yourself from getting messages from unknown numbers on the messaging service.

  1. Make sure you have a WhatsApp account and are signed in.
  2. Use the “Who is this number?” option to see who is calling you.
  3. If you don’t know who the caller is, don’t answer the call. Just hang up and delete the message if it’s from someone you don’t want to talk to again.
  4. If someone calls you and doesn’t have your phone number in their contact list, just say no and hang up before they can ask for your number again.
