1. Deactivate payment code

Many people use WeChat to pay when they buy things in supermarkets or shopping malls, but they do not close the payment code after paying, but keep it open! Everyone should know that once our payment code is lost or obtained by others, he can directly use our payment code to pay, which will cause the loss of funds in our WeChat. Elderly friends should pay special attention to this, and many elderly friends ignore this point!

After using the payment code, we must click the [three dots] in the upper right corner and select [Pause]

Click [Suspend Use] to deactivate the [Payment Code] and open it again when you need to use it!

Only in this way can we avoid the theft of WeChat funds caused by the inadvertent loss of payment codes!

2. Delete redundant accounts

In many cases, we will find that in addition to our own real-name accounts, there are many accounts on WeChat that are not added by our real-names. Therefore, we must quickly check how many accounts are bound to our WeChat, and once we find that they are not authenticated by ourselves, we must delete them. Only by clearing unnecessary accounts can we ensure the security of our WeChat!

We open WeChat

Find the settings

Select [General] in Settings.

Open [General] and click [Accessibility].

After opening [Assistance], directly click [WeChat Pay]

Next, select [Help] in [WeChat Payment]

Then we select [Real Name Question]

At this time, select [Query Accounts]

At this time, we will be asked to enter [Name] and [ID Number]. After entering, click [Next]

Then we will be asked to [Verify by face scan], just click [Verify]

Wait for [Verification] to pass, and you can see how many [accounts] we are currently bound to WeChat

As long as we find that there is something that is not added by our real name, we can just click [Clear] and then select [Freeze Directly] to freeze it!

Only in this way can we avoid the loss of funds or account theft caused by WeChat being bound by others!

3. Disable group chat and QR code adding methods

We all join various group chats in our lives, but as long as our friends in the group can directly add us as friends, we will receive various applications for adding strangers, which is very annoying! Secondly, if some people with bad intentions add us, it will bring irreparable losses to our WeChat, so we have to turn off the [Group Chat] adding method!

Also on the WeChat settings page, find [Privacy]

After opening [Privacy], select [How to add me]

Then press the button below to turn off the [Switch]!

In addition to closing the group chat, the QR code should also be turned off, because once the QR code is lost, it will cause us a lot of trouble!

The above three are the functions that we should pay close attention to when using WeChat. Once we are not careful, it will cause losses to our WeChat, so we must check and delete or close them! I hope it helps everyone!
