It’s time to make sure WhatsApp is updated on your iPhone, Android or Windows device.
Users should update their WhatsApp apps immediately as hackers can take over your phone by calling it – and it doesn’t matter whether or not you answer.
WhatsApp is used by 1.5 billion people around the world.
The spyware can trawl through calls and texts and can use camera and microphone, as well as carry out other malicious activities.
All brands of phones the app installed are affected, including the iPhone, Android phones and Windows Phones.
Users should check for updates through the App Store or Google Play, the Microsoft Store on Windows and the Galaxy app store on the Tizen devices.
It’s also suggested that uninstalling WhatsApp from your phone will protect you.
Keeping the phone’s operating system updated is crucial too.
You should always install the latest version iOS or Android.
