WhatsApp introduces new security features

WhatsApp has announced a new set of security features to enhance account protection and reduce scams. These features include strengthening two-factor authentication by adding more than one passcode that can be used to log in across multiple devices. Additionally, there is an option to display information about unknown calls from unregistered numbers. Login mechanisms have been improved by increasing the minimum password length to 8 characters, including both letters and numbers, with the possibility of linking multiple passcodes to a single account—especially for users who use more than one device or own both iPhone and Android devices. The new features require manual activation through the app’s security settings. These updates come alongside similar security enhancements rolled out by other platforms such as Signal and Telegram, aiming to protect over a billion users.
