According to beta users, WhatsApp is planning to add a new layer of security for its users by requiring email verification.
Although this feature is currently being rolled out in stages, it is expected to be available to all users in the near future.
WhatsApp Working on Email Verification Feature Since August
Since August, the concept of email verification for WhatsApp accounts has been in development, representing a rigorous approach to ensuring user security.
Users will have an additional barrier against potential hacking attempts by linking a personal email to their account.
This measure is expected to improve messaging platform’s overall security and provide users with greater peace of mind.
Email Verification Process
The email verification process is quite simple for those who are fortunate enough to gain access to the beta.
Users are prompted to enter their personal email address, after which they will receive a verification email in their inbox.
Users can complete the verification process and strengthen the link between their emails and WhatsApp accounts after receiving this email.
This is especially important in an age when cyber threats and privacy concerns are so prevalent.
WhatsApp is demonstrating its commitment to protecting its users’ sensitive information by implementing email verification.
Preventive Measures From Cyber-Attacks
It also acts as a preventative measure to make unauthorized account access more difficult for potential malicious actors.
It’s only a matter of time before all users have access to this additional security feature as beta testing progresses.
