Is it safe to use WhatsApp on my workplace’s public Wi-Fi?

It’s hard to give a definite answer because a lot depends on how secure the workplace Wi-Fi is and how protected your device is. But honestly, it's probably better to wait and use a more secure connection.

You won't get infected by just connecting. Most public Wi-Fi networks use isolation techniques, which means your device can't really see or interact with other devices on the network. So if someone else has malware, it's unlikely to spread to you.

If you're just using WhatsApp, you're generally safe. However, if you start downloading files or clicking on suspicious links while on the public Wi-Fi, then you could expose yourself to potential viruses.

Nope, not really. Hacking and viruses don’t work like in the movies. Unless you're doing something risky, like downloading sketchy stuff, you should be fine.

The only real risk comes if the login page to access the Wi-Fi is malicious, which is super rare. If it's your workplace's network and you know that they have some security measures in place, you're pretty safe.
