1

Audit Account Security

Verify: strong password set, 2FA enabled, backup codes saved securely, recovery phrase documented. Go to Settings > Account and check each security feature. Fix any gaps before proceeding.

2

Audit Privacy Settings

Review Settings > Privacy: read receipts (disable for maximum privacy), typing indicators (disable), last seen (contacts only or nobody), profile photo visibility (contacts only). Enable biometric app lock with a short auto-lock timer.

3

Audit Conversation Settings

Check disappearing message defaults, verify sensitive conversations have appropriate timers, review group memberships and remove old groups. Ensure metadata stripping is enabled for photo sharing.

4

Audit Linked Devices

Go to Settings > Linked Devices and review all connected devices. Remove any devices you no longer use or do not recognize. Each linked device is a potential access point — minimize to devices you actively use.

5

Schedule Regular Audits

Set a monthly reminder to repeat this privacy audit. Security settings can drift over time — regular reviews ensure your WeTalkin configuration stays optimized for maximum privacy protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I audit my privacy settings?

Monthly is recommended for most users. For high-risk users (journalists, activists, executives), weekly audits provide stronger assurance. After any device change or security concern, audit immediately.

What is the most important setting to check?

Two-factor authentication. If 2FA is disabled, your account is significantly more vulnerable to compromise. Enabling and maintaining 2FA is the single most impactful security setting you can configure.

Can I export my privacy settings?

WeTalkin's privacy settings are device-specific and sync across linked devices. While there is no formal "export" of settings, they are preserved in your encrypted backup. After restoring a backup, verify settings match your audit checklist.
