New security features of WhatsApp:
1. Account Protect:
This new service will allow users to switch to a new device more easily than ever before. For a few months after this update is released, WhatsApp will provide you with an additional security layer that will ask for permission to switch devices.
2. Device Verification:
This feature will keep users safe from on-device malware attacks. It is present in the inbuilt setting in the security package. For this, the user will not need any additional security. You can use WhatsApp the way you want and the app itself will take care of your account.
3. Automatic Security Codes:
This feature of WhatsApp will make life easier for the users. This ensures that chats are encrypted and secure. Users will be able to check for a secure connection by tapping on the Encryption tab which will be inside the contact information. This process is called Key Transparency. WhatsApp said in a statement, “This will allow you to automatically verify that your connection is completely secure.
When will these three new features be rolled out:
The three features that WhatsApp has introduced include Account Protect, Device Verification and Automatic Security Codes. These will be rolled out to all users in the coming few months.
