According to the latest report from Meta, WhatsApp has over 2 billion unique users worldwide; that's why we can state that it is one of the most widely used instant communication tools.
However, despite being one of the most used tools, there are still some functions that users are unaware of. Although WhatsApp Web is one of the extensions that we can use to connect your account to a PC or laptop, the truth is that there is a Link or code that you should NEVER use, and it is "Wa.me/settings".
Although some users believe that this LINK makes your WhatsApp account get hacked, the truth is that it is actually an incorrect command, which when used could crash your app chat from Meta.
Paco Web, a technology specialist on TikTok, has mentioned that if you use this link "wa.me/settings" on your smartphone, you could damage your chat since it is a WhatsApp 'Bug'. To fix it, you will have to delete the conversation from your phone.
If you are on WhatsApp Web, you can delete the link and avoid problems with your app. However, it is highly recommended NOT to share this message with anyone, as you could cause trouble for other people.
It should be noted that wa.me/settings generates an ERROR, so it will not take you to any website but it will cause the WhatsApp app to fail. It is expected to be fixed in the coming days.
