WhatsApp is testing a couple of new features, which are meant to further improve user privacy. It is suggested that the Meta-owned messaging platform will soon introduce login approval and phone number sharing features, as discovered by WABetaInfo. Here's a look at what these features are all about.
How to use 1 WhatsApp account on 2 phones
A recent report from WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is planning to add login approvals. This is an additional security feature, which will come in handy if someone tries to log into your WhatsApp account from another device when the 6-digit PIN is shared incorrectly.
If there is a login attempt from another device, WhatsApp will now send an in-app login request message to the user. If it's not you, you can easily decline the request and protect your WhatsApp account from misuse.
This comes in addition to the double verification code, which is also being tested as of now. It will show a different verification code when there is a login attempt from another device. However, you should know that both of these features are under development and there is no word on when they will be ready to ship to users. You can still check out what the login approval message will look like.
