Bgmi Tips & Tricks: Pro Player Guide (2026)
WhatsApp hidden settings can completely change how you use the app. Most people only use basic features of WhatsApp — but inside the settings menu, there are powerful privacy and security options that many users never enable.
In this guide, I’ll show you the secret WhatsApp settings you should turn on right now.
This is the most important hidden setting.
📍 Go to:
Settings → Account → Two-step verification → Enable
Why it matters:
Adds a 6-digit PIN
Protects your account from SIM swap hacks
Stops hackers from re-registering your number
If you enable only one setting today, make it this one.
Want more privacy?
📍 Go to:
Settings → Privacy → Last Seen & Online
Set:
Last Seen → My Contacts or Nobody
Online → Same as Last Seen
This prevents strangers (or specific contacts) from tracking your activity.
Your storage filling up automatically? This is why.
📍 Go to:
Settings → Storage and Data → Media Auto-Download
Disable:
Photos
Videos
Documents on mobile data
This improves performance and saves storage space.
Extra privacy layer 🔒
📍 Go to:
Settings → Privacy → App Lock
Enable fingerprint or face unlock.
Even if someone unlocks your phone, they can’t open WhatsApp without biometric authentication.
Spam groups are annoying.
📍 Go to:
Settings → Privacy → Groups
Change to:
✔ My Contacts
or
✔ My Contacts Except…
This blocks random numbers from adding you.
📍 Go to:
Settings → Privacy → Read Receipts → Turn Off
You can read messages without sending blue ticks.
⚠ Note: You also won’t see others’ read receipts.
📍 Go to:
Settings → Storage and Data → Manage Storage
You can:
Delete large files
Remove forwarded media
Free up space instantly
This makes WhatsApp faster on older Android phones.
Enable Disappearing Messages for sensitive chats.
📍 Open chat → Tap contact name → Disappearing Messages
Messages auto-delete after 24 hours / 7 days / 90 days.
Enabling these WhatsApp hidden settings will:
✔ Improve privacy
✔ Increase security
✔ Save storage
✔ Reduce spam
✔ Make WhatsApp faster
Most users never change default settings — and that’s why they face privacy and storage issues.
