WhatsApp’s security centre to build awareness about the various safety measures and in-built product features that empower users to take control of their safety.
WhatsApp has launched a new global Security Center which will act as a one-stop shop for users to learn more about how to protect themselves against spammers and unwanted contact.
WhatsApp has created this page to build awareness about the various safety measures and in-built product features that empower users to take control of their safety as well as more information on the ‘behind-the-scenes’ technology they use to run a simple, reliable, private and safe service.
The Security Center will be available in English and 10 Indian languages (Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Urdu and Gujarati).

Last month, WhatsApp launched an integrated safety campaign ‘Stay Safe with WhatsApp’ in India highlighting product features that empower users to take control of their online safety and ensure a safer messaging experience. The campaign focuses on educating users about WhatsApp’s safety features and tools like Two-Step Verification, Block and Report and Privacy controls that equip people with the necessary safeguards to help protect them from online scams, frauds and account-compromising threats.
