WhatsApp Rolls Out Global Security Centre Page
WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging platform owned by Meta, on Thursday launched its new global 'Security Center' page.
This dedicated platform has been rolled out to serve as a comprehensive resource for users to learn about effective measures to protect themselves from spammers and unwanted contacts, addressing growing concerns over an increase in spam calls from anonymous foreign numbers.
WhatsApp's Security Center offers valuable insights into the platform's safety features and behind-the-scenes technology. The page is available in English and 10 Indian languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Urdu, and Gujarati, catering to a broad user base.
The Security Center provides users with practical information to gain more control over their WhatsApp accounts. Among the featured tips are the importance of enabling two-step verification, recognising common scams, avoiding fake versions of WhatsApp, and managing group preferences. By arming users with knowledge and resources, WhatsApp is looking to empower them to take proactive measures in securing their online communications.
In a statement, WhatsApp said, "Protecting personal messages with end-to-end encryption is one of the best lines of defense against scammers and fraudsters, and in addition to that, WhatsApp is consistently working on new and innovative ways to enhance people's safety and privacy."
