In addition, the company gave the signals that security measures will increase with a share made today.
WhatsApp good news for iPhone users!
WhatsApp has started testing the message transfer feature for those who have switched from Android to iPhone models. Here are the features and details….
WhatsApp will bring two-step verification to PC versions!
Last year, Meta included a number of improvements on WhatsApp into their beta program. For example, users registered in the beta program can now message, make audio or video calls without a phone connection on the desktop or web version of the application.
In addition, the company overhauled the tools that users love, such as new Gifs, emojis and speech templates, along with a number of features it brought in its latest update. In fact, according to the latest leaks, it will bring a number of innovations in the coming days. These include image editing and new settings menus.
Today, in a post by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing the ability to add two-step verification to its desktop app and web version. Since so many people rely on this app to work and communicate, it is inevitable that criminals will also try to take advantage of the platform via fraudulent means.
While the app tries to get around these scams by allowing users to add two-step verification and even allow the user to unlock with Touch ID or Face ID, there are still plenty of people who lost their account or got scammed.
After the beta program, the application will be available from the PC without the need for the phone to be nearby, following this new two-step verification security measure, it will offer users reliable freedom to use multi-devices, just like on the Telegram side. Therefore, it is understood why the feature, which is currently working smoothly, is still not out of beta.
The statement made by WABetaInfo on the subject is as follows:
When your WhatsApp account is registered, you will be asked for a personal PIN to log into the account after entering the 6-digit code. WhatsApp wants to make it easy to manage two-step verification everywhere. That’s why they are trying to introduce this feature in the web/desktop client in a future update.
It will be possible to enable or disable two step verification on the web/desktop client. This is especially important when you lose your phone and don’t remember your PIN.
