We continue to talk about new features of WhatsApp that will soon arrive for all users. As a rule, it is the portal BetaInfo to inform us of the features that will come and even today, as always, it does so but with a feature that concerns the safety , privacy. It is about two-step verification, which is a method that increases the security and privacy of our messages.
WhatsApp will soon be updating with a whole new feature, two-step verification. One more step for security and privacy, which are never too many
According to the source, WhatsApp will implement two-step verification in its desktop app and web version. As many people rely on this app for work and communication, the hackers are partly trying to scam the users using the instant messaging app. As a result, the number of people who lose their account or get scammed is on the rise. It should be emphasized that this two-step verification it will not be present on the app for smartphones apparently.
Since WhatsApp is still preparing support for multiple devices at the same time, users will be able to access the application from a PC without having to have a smartphone nearby. Adding XNUMX-Step Verification will help users gain greater protection.
When we register a WhatsApp account after entering the 6-digit code, we will need a personal PIN code to access it. WhatsApp wants to simplify the management of XNUMX-Step Verification everywhere, so they are working to bring this functionality to the web client and desktop client in a future update. We will therefore have the opportunity to enable or disable two-step verification in the web / desktop client. This is very important, especially when we lose our phone and don't remember the PIN.
At the moment, it is unclear when this feature will be available to beta testers as it is still in its own early stages of development.
