Check there is no spy app on your phone

I hope you know about spy apps. That will copy or send WhatsApp messages to Hacker. There are thousands of antivirus available in the play store but they will not work. They are completely useless.
When there is spy app, then your battery will drain fast and your data usages will suddenly increase. You can find apps that use data in the background to find spy app.

Don't use a third-party keyboard

Some of us installed new keyboard from play store like the swift keyword. I'm not this is spy app but it can be. Recently emoji keyword servers hacked. They are recording all keystrokes typed by the users. So I will not recommend you to install any third party app. Use Google keyword.

Double check if someone is using WhatsApp using WhatsApp web

Open three-dot menu from the Right top corner and click on WhatsApp web. Check all login devices. Are all devices belong to you? If not then remove it immediately.

Modified WhatsApp can be dangerous

I'm not saying these apps are safe but they can steal your data. While download GbWhatsApp chrome gives me a warning, this app can harm your device. If you are really concerned about your privacy then don't use these type of apps.

Make sure you have installed antivirus on your Computer

For the computer, antivirus is essential. In windows, you can update Window Defender. It is awesome make sure keep updating it. You can use any third party app if you want but default antivirus is very good.
Sometimes antivirus will not work so make sure you download software from the original site only. Sometimes crack version can include malware.

Bonus Tip

Delete your WhatsApp messages. I generally delete my WhatsApp messages so nobody can read these messages.

Bottom Line

Most of the times we think our WhatsApp is hacked but in reality, it is not. If you cover all these steps then 99% there is no changes your WhatsApp can hack. On the internet, you can find so many fake websites claiming hacking WhatsApp just by phone number.
Hacking did not work like this. Don't worry your WhatsApp can't be hacked with these fake sites. (You can waste your time if you did not believe in me). Your WhatsApp can only hack if hacker will able to succeed by making you fool. Don't install any apps from the third party. Only install apps from play store or App store.
