WhatsApp has just rolled out some much-needed security features to improve users’ in-app experience. With the newly introduced update, we will also have additional privacy protections and control over our private communications. Let’s find out how the new WhatsApp’s security features help us exactly!
First things first, from now on, when you wish to move your account to a new device, the most recent version come with the right security feature. As an added security measure, WhatsApp can prompt users of older devices to confirm that this is exactly what they really want. So, the interaction here seems to be key. But here’s the best thing so far: you’ll get warned if your account is insecurely moved to another device. That’s quite helpful, isn’t it?!
Luckily, there’s more.
Device verification is another major feature in the latest update to WhatsApp. The app has got its security measures enhanced to stop mobile device viruses from using people’s devices without their consent to access WhatsApp and send any unwelcome messages. How will such a thing work?
These checkups will always help you with account authentication (you won’t have to do a thing) and, obviously, will better safeguard you in the event that your device has been compromised. Remember that you can always read more useful information on Meta’s official page!
Finally, this new update includes a new security feature based on “Key Transparency,” which could easily enable all users to immediately confirm that they are connected securely. Pretty clever, right?! So, practically, you will be able to quickly confirm that your discussion is actually safe with a single tap on the encryption tab.
As previously said, the website for Meta’s Engineering has all the right information for you on the new security feature.
