Scammers often try to steal your WhatsApp account by tricking you into sharing codes or answering fake calls. To stop them, you should turn on Two-Step Verification (a 6-digit PIN), set up a Passkey for easy fingerprint or face login, and use the Silence Unknown Callers setting. Doing this makes your account much harder to hack, protects your private messages, and helps you avoid annoying scam calls before they even start.
