In case you are affected by a hacking attack, you need to remove and reinstall WhatsApp at a different time of the day. You should also immediately inform your relatives and friends about hacking and urge them not to respond to any messages coming from their number on WhatsApp.
The hacked account holder should email the technical support of WhatsApp at support@whatsapp.com and provide your phone number in the format +9715XXXXXXXX.
And you must try to reinstall WhatsApp every day.
