Indlela yokuhlola ukuthi ifoni yakho ephathekayo izothinteka yini
Ngaphambi kokuthola isimanga esibi ngomhlaka-1 Mashi uqobo, into ehlakaniphile okufanele uyenze hlola inguqulo yesistimu yokusebenza hlola uhlelo lokusebenza lwedivayisi ukuze ubone ukuthi lungabuyekezwa yini. Inqubo ilula futhi ithatha imizuzu embalwa kuphela.
Ku-Android, kufanele uye ku- Amasethingi > Mayelana nefoni > Ulwazi lwesofthiweLesi sigaba sibonisa inombolo yenguqulo ye-Android efakiwe. Uma ingaphansi kuka-5.0, kufanele uhlole imenyu yezibuyekezo zesistimu ukuze ubone ukuthi kukhona yini izibuyekezo ezilindile ezingakuvumela ukuthi uthuthukele ku-Lollipop noma inguqulo yakamuva.
Kuma-iPhone, inqubo iyafana: kusukela Amasethingi> Okuvamile> Ulwazi Ungabona ukuthi iyiphi inguqulo efakiwe. Ukuze uhlole izibuyekezo, iya kuzilungiselelo > Okuvamile > Isibuyekezo Sesofthiwe. Uma ifoni yakho isebenzisa i-iOS 15.1 noma kamuva, ukuvuselela nje kuzogcina ukuhambisana ne-WhatsApp.

Kwezinye izimo, ikakhulukazi endaweni ye-Android, kunezinhlelo ze-ROM ezenziwe ngokwezifiso ezenziwe umphakathi, kodwa ukusetshenziswa kwazo akusekelwa abakhiqizi noma i-Meta, futhi kungenzeka zingaqinisekisi ukusebenza okuzinzile noma okuphephile kohlelo lokusebenza oluzwelayo njenge-WhatsApp.
Okufanele ukwenze uma ifoni yakho ephathekayo isohlwini lwabantu abathintekile
Uma ngemuva kokuhlola inguqulo uqinisekisa ukuthi ifoni yakho izoshiywa ngaphandle kohlelo lokusebenza, into yokuqala okufanele uyenze gwema ukulahlekelwa izingxoxo namafayela akhoNgakho-ke, kubalulekile ukwenza ikhophi yasenqolobaneni ngaphambi kokuba uhlelo lokusebenza luyeke ukusebenza ngokuphelele.
Ku-Android, amakhophi edatha agcinwa nge- -Google DriveIzinyathelo eziyisisekelo yilezi: vula i-WhatsApp, thepha isithonjana samachashazi amathathu ekhoneni eliphezulu, iya kuzilungiselelo > Izingxoxo > Isipele sengxoxo, bese uthepha okuthi "Yenza isipele" ukuze uthumele idatha efwini.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukususa amadivayisi angahambisani kungasiza ekunciphiseni indawo yokuhlasela yokukhwabanisa kanye nokukhwabanisa okuxhaphaza omakhalekhukhwini asebekhulile. Izinhlelo ezingenazo iziqeshana zokuphepha bezilokhu zikhathaza ochwepheshe bezokuphepha kwe-inthanethi iminyaka eminingi, njengoba zenza kube lula ukufakwa kwe-malware noma ukwebiwa kwedatha.
