Whatsapp's security features are not what many users expected, especially considering the increasing cases of Whatsapp account cloning.
Because of this, the world's most popular messaging app is working on a new update that aims to protect accounts from these types of incidents.
New features
A new update that is in development and will be released in a future version of the app includes a security feature to protect your account using your email address.
There is not much information yet about the specific features of this feature, but it is clear that it will be used to protect and authenticate accounts in certain circumstances. This feature is designed to prevent unauthorized attempts to transfer your WhatsApp account to another device, protect your phone from malware that tries to use it, and provide an automatic security code that makes the security code verification process easier. After the various cloning and scam issues, this protection is what users were waiting for to trust WhatsApp more.
Extra protection for your account
Information is still scarce, but it is important that users have additional tools to protect their accounts. Additionally, this WhatsApp security feature will help users verify their accounts in uncertain situations. This feature is optional and will be different from asking for your email address when setting up two-step verification. Stay tuned for the latest developments To ensure quality use of the app, stay tuned for updates to find out when WhatsApp's security features will be officially launched. Read the news on the app's official channels and here on the Achei Celular website, which will also provide additional information about these security features as soon as they are available.
Don’t forget to comment on social media too, your feedback is important. WhatsApp values user feedback and is always looking for ways to improve security and user experience. So if you have any thoughts on this new feature, don’t hesitate to share!
Finally, Whatsapp continues to work hard to provide security features strong to protect users from potential threats such as account cloning. This new security feature that uses your email address to protect your account is a welcome addition to the existing list of security measures.
Other updates
Contactless messaging on Whatsapp has become easier with features available on Android and iPhone (iOS) since latest app update. Previously, you had to save contacts to your address book, find them in Messenger, send messages, and delete chats when you didn't need to continue the conversation. You can also start a conversation using a web link or by replying to a number that isn't already saved in a group.
Another update was the addition of videos to the audio button. Videos cannot exceed 60 seconds. The basic idea behind the feature is to allow users to share moments during a conversation. WhatsApp owner Mark Zuckerberg posted about the new feature, saying, “It’s as easy as sending a voice message.” Follow the steps below if you want to use this feature.
• Change the audio option to video mode.
• Keep pressing the button.
• Swipe up to lock the screen and record video hands-free.
