WhatsApp has introduced new security features aimed at helping users prevent unauthorised access to their accounts, strengthen account recovery and make safer decisions when dealing with unknown callers.
The messaging platform said the latest upgrades were designed to give users greater control over their account security as scams and attempts to gain unauthorised access to digital accounts continue to pose concerns.
According to WhatsApp, the new measures include enhanced two-step verification, support for multiple passkeys and additional information about calls from people who are not saved in users’ contacts.
