WhatsApp might soon get a ‘login approval’ feature similar to Instagram and Facebook
Over the years, WhatsApp is something that we are all accustomed to. In many ways, this has become an integral part of our daily lives. However, with WhatsApp now widely used in terms of office communication, group video calls and even payments, popular application security is more important than before. To improve this, it seems that the developer is working on a new feature called ‘Login Agreement’ that will increase the safety of the platform.
Apparently, this feature is reported to be being developed and has not been released to Beta examiners. According to a report by Wabetainfo, WhatsApp users will receive a warning in the application if someone tries to enter their account. This is similar to other meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
Prompt will display information such as time when someone tries to access your account and maybe the name or model of the device that tries to get access. This will make it safer for those who often switch between devices. This is also faster than the traditional authorization method that requires users to enter OTP and can be useful if you don’t have your main device. Combine the login approval feature with two verification code systems, and hackers will definitely have difficulty getting invalid access to your chat. Because the WhatsApp developer does not share a definite time when it will be available, our guess is that it might be necessary a few moments before it is launched to the general public. If you are interested in trying it, make sure you are part of the Beta WhatsApp channel.
