Popular instant messaging application WhatsApp continues to receive important innovations. Thus, the user experience increases. Finally, the Passkey feature in the WhatsApp application for Android was also offered to iOS users. So what does this do? Here are the details of the new feature…
What does the Passkey feature added to WhatsApp for iOS do?
According to a recent news report , WhatsApp started testing the new feature called “share files with nearby people”. This feature, which will allow users to share files with others nearby without an internet connection, attracted a lot of attention. Passkey, which was added to the WhatsApp application for iOS , also attracted a lot of attention.
The Passkey feature, which has been in use in the Android version of WhatsApp for a long time, is now also available in the iOS version. This innovation offers users the opportunity to log in using face recognition or PIN without the need for an SMS verification code.
Last Friday, NVIDIA market value dropped to $1.905 trillion. As of today, the company has passed the 2 trillion dollar threshold again.
This feature makes it difficult for malicious people who use attack methods such as phishing to access accounts. Because the passkey verification method requires access to the physical device to log in to the account. This means an additional layer of security.
Although WhatsApp announced the Passkey feature for iOS, we should point out that it is being rolled out gradually. To benefit from the innovation, you should follow these steps:
- Step 1: Open the WhatsApp application.
- Step 2: Log in to Settings.
- Step 3: Tap the Account button.
- Step 4: Tap “Passkey” option.
- Step 5: You can activate the feature by completing the verification process.
We should point out that the Passkey feature is also included in applications such as X or formerly known as Twitter , Google , PayPal and TikTok . Since it is a beneficial innovation for user security, it is expected to spread to more platforms.
