But in a nutshell, While you are using your account, the perpetrator will try to login with your number, which will cause the OTP code to come to your phone. The perpetrator will not know this OTP code but he will not be able to ask for a new OTP code for 12 hours due to trying the wrong OTP code After doing this a few times and following a few more steps, the WhatsApp account running on your phone will be logged out. You will not be able to login again later.
