This trick will tell you how many devices have a WhatsApp account open

It is also possible to determine if a backup is being saved to another Gmail account.

It is often suspected that someone is watching us, stealing private WhatsApp chats. Many times

you will have a suspicion in your mind that WhatsApp account has been hacked. Almost all work

in technology is possible. Often we forget to log out if we are using Gmail or WhatsApp web on the

office system. This increases the risk of account hacking.

If you suspect that your WhatsApp account has been hacked it needs to be removed.

We've come up with a trick to help you determine if your account has been hacked or

your backup is being saved in someone else's Gmail. Let's start with this fun trick ...

1. First open WhatsApp and click on the three dots at the top right.

2. Then click on the WhatsApp Web option.

3. The camera will be ready to scan the QR code if your account is not logged in to another

system. (As shown in the photo below)

4. If WhatsApp is open or logged in to another system, it will not show the QR code first but

will see the list of the system where your account is already logged in or open. Note: In this

case click on Log Out from all devices.

5. Then go to Three Dots-> Settings-> Chat option again. There you will see the

Chat Backup option below, click on it.

6. You will see the Google Accounts option. It should not contain any Gmail ID

other than your account. If this happens remove it.
