Format the phone
The first thing to do is to immediately format (factory reset) your phone. Before resetting, take a backup of the data on Google Drive. Many times hackers hack your phone by sending you a photo, video, or file. These files contain malware and as soon as you click, they reach your phone, and after that hackers keep getting complete information about your phone. There is a possibility of the virus getting eliminated by resetting.
New SIM card
If your WhatsApp is getting logged out repeatedly blue ticks are appearing on the messages without being read or the name of some other laptop or phone is appearing in the linked device that you do not know, then it means that your SIM card has been cloned. The hacker has access to the SIM card and he is the one logging in and logging out of your WhatsApp. To avoid this, block that number immediately and get a new SIM card on the same number.
Keep an eye on social media accounts.
As soon as the hacker gets access to the mobile number, he will try to reset your social media accounts as well. In such a situation, you also need to keep an eye on your social media accounts. If possible, deactivate your account for some time or keep an eye on each login session.
