Dubai, UAE – Cybersecurity experts in the UAE have raised concerns about WhatsApp’s new ‘guest chats’ feature. This feature allows users to chat without creating an account, making it easier to talk to new people. However, experts warn that it also increases the risk of talking to strangers who may have harmful intentions.
The ‘guest chats’ option aims to simplify communication, but it can expose users to security threats, including scams and phishing attacks. UAE cybersecurity specialists discourage sharing personal information or clicking on unknown links in these chats. They emphasize that users must enable two-factor authentication on their WhatsApp accounts to add extra protection.
Authorities urge everyone to stay cautious, especially when talking to unknown contacts through the guest chat feature. Protecting personal data and avoiding suspicious links can reduce security risks. The new feature, while convenient, demands more careful use by the public to avoid potential cyber dangers.
