Although WhatsApp is an instant communication service that helps me have free conversations over long distances, sometimes it turns out to be a real hassle due to the number of messages and calls I receive daily. The aforementioned platform has not yet developed a tool to turn off or disconnect for a few minutes, the only (official) way to avoid receiving messages is by turning off the cell phone and internet and uninstalling the application.
However, many do not know that mobile devices with the Android operating system have a function that allows you to temporarily disconnect from WhatsApp, so you will avoid receiving messages, calls and video calls from your personal and group chats. Would you like to know how to turn off the app? from Mag I will explain it below.
It is important to mention that you will only remove the internet from WhatsApp, so you will still be able to browse the other applications without problems. In addition, you will not lose the messages that were sent to you, they will appear when you turn your account back on.
How to turn off your WhatsApp account to not receive messages and calls
First, enter the “Settings” of your Android cell phone. Now, find and press the section that says “Digital well-being and parental controls”. The next step is to locate and press the “Concentration Mode” option and enter “Work time ”.A new window will open > tap on “Edit”.Select all applications except WhatsApp.Click on “Done”.You can even choose the duration time for the function to be deactivated (12 hours maximum or until you decide to deactivate it ). Finally, click on “Start”. As you can see, it is impossible to open WhatsApp until you decide to deactivate the “Work Time” function. The icon of the messaging application will be lead colored and no matter how hard you want to enter, Android will not allow it.
These are the signs to recognize malicious messages on WhatsApp
First, check that WhatsApp does not have pending updates, sometimes the app is updated to correct security holes. Avoid opening suspicious links, whether they are sent to you by your friends or unknown people. These could automatically download a file that contains a virus. You recognize a suspicious link because the URL is usually short and does not allow you to see the full address. Ignore messages that come from unknown numbers and even less if they are from abroad. Many times they try to offer you a job with the pay that everyone would like and when you fall into the trap they force you to download an application with a virus. The popular prize scam. It is a false message where they offer you a prize or discount in a well-known store, before giving you the “gift” (which will never arrive) they also force you to download an application. Do not provide any type of code. Cybercriminals will kindly ask you to share an authentication code that according to them they “sent you by mistake”, if you grant it, they will be able to access your WhatsApp account from another cell phone.
