WhatsApp continues to integrate new changes to ensure that its users always have the best security possible. Over the last few months, the application has released different updates to improve this section and, today, it has a huge number of new features that users enjoy.
Of course, they have not only launched security news. WhatsApp made one of the great premieres of the application yesterday and, it is that, now it allows the service to be used on two devices at the same time. Yes, we are talking about the Companion Mode that was launched in the latest beta of the messaging application.
The novelty of using WhatsApp on another device is something that many users have been asking for in recent years and have only had to wait until 2023 to be able to enjoy it. Leaving this feature aside, we are now going to see the three new features that have been launched today to improve WhatsApp security.
All of them are already available and, unlike what WhatsApp normally does, they have been released for both Android and iOS. WhatsApp has explained on its official page what the security and privacy news consist of. If you want to know what the company itself says, you can consult the following link.
These are the three security and privacy innovations that WhatsApp has integrated
Account Protection It is the first of three novelties, focusing on making it more difficult for your account to be stolen. If you want to change the mobile device account, you will have to confirm on the old phone that you are going to carry out this action and, therefore, avoid possible identity theft.
device verification It is the second of the three novelties, this feature does not request any type of user interaction. WhatsApp explains that it is a functionality with which the application will be able to detect any type of threat that may arise and act accordingly to prevent you from having problems on your device.
Automatic security codes It is the third of the three novelties, WhatsApp explains that what this feature does is generate keys so that you are always able to know that you are talking to the real person behind the contact. In addition, WhatsApp has made it easier to find these codes within the application to improve its use by users.
