Can someone get you IP address or hack you through just chatting?

posted 11 months ago

Was in Reddit chat one to one yesterday and also another site but not sure if I can name it without getting banned. Anyway my phone has been disconnecting and I am not being able to sign into WiFi. Keep gettting error message saying ’ Connected to device, cannot provide internet’. It most likely is not a hacker or someone trying to get my IP address but just wondered how easy it was?

No. If you don’t run strange software that someone give you or open link and download stuff, no.

Your is just a WiFi problem.
