Linked devices
In Turkish: Bağlı cihazlar
The list of phones, computers and browsers that are signed in to your account, for example in a messaging app.
In messaging apps a linked device is a full copy of your chats on another screen, and it stays signed in until someone removes it. Attackers get there by tricking you into scanning a QR code or opening a link.
Checking this list takes a minute and is a good habit. A device you do not recognise is a reason to sign it out right away and secure the account.
What to do
- Open the linked devices screen in your messaging apps now and remove anything you do not recognise.
- Turn on two-step verification, and be careful with QR codes sent to you by others.
- Check the list again once a month.
