Received a message from an unknown individual on WhatsApp messenger. I did not recognize the number (the person is not on my contact list), and there is probably an attachment (4 messages were sent).
I deleted the message and the attachment without tapping to open the message (whatsapp asked whether I wanted to delete the attachment, I chose yes).
I believe the message was from a possible scammer sending a virus embedded in an attachment.
I also uninstalled and re-installed WhatsApp messenger.
A virus scan using multiple software on my phone yielded nothing was wrong.
Question 1: Are there any other steps I should do to be secure? Question 2:
Is there a way to prevent random messages like this on WhatsApp? (I have blocked this specific sender but I want to prevent such messages in general)
