This new feature will essentially check whether the person changing the account is actually you or not.  So if you\u2019re switching from an old device to a new one, you\u2019ll be asked on your old device to verify that it\u2019s really you and not someone else.  When this feature is activated there will be a pop-up screen with the details of your account change, and whether you choose to allow it or not. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"otherDiv\">\n<div class=\"full-w-img\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-515518 size-full lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check.png?tr=q-100 1920w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-150x84.png?tr=q-100 150w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-300x169.png?tr=q-100 300w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-768x432.png?tr=q-100 768w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-1024x576.png?tr=q-100 1024w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-696x392.png?tr=q-100 696w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-1068x601.png?tr=q-100 1068w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check-747x420.png?tr=q-100 747w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-device-verification-check.png?tr=q-100\"\/><\/div>\n<h2>device verification<\/h2>\n<p>WhatsApp has also added a new device verification tool that is designed to help prevent devices from becoming infected with malware.  Its purpose is to protect the authentication key which basically allows the WhatsApp client to connect to the origin server for a trusted connection.  But if the device is infected with malware the authentication key can be stolen and hackers can gain access to the user\u2019s account to send spam, phishing messages and more.<\/p>\n<p>Device verification aims to solve this problem by identifying any such activity.  It is a built-in tool and does not require any action from outside users. <\/p>\n<h2>automatic security code<\/h2>\n<p>WhatsApp messages, calls and videos are all end-to-end encrypted.  It also has this option so that you can verify whether your chat is secure or not.  You can do this by opening the chat and selecting the \u2018Encryption\u2019 option.  WhatsApp is now rolling out a feature called \u201cKey Transparency\u201d that will help users automatically verify that the connection is secure.  This can be found under the Encryption tab of WhatsApp conversations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched\"\/><\/div>\n<footer> <span class=\"td-page-meta\"><meta content=\"Marcia Sekhose\"\/><meta content=\"https:\/\/www.91mobiles.com\/hub\/author\/marcia-sekhose\/\"\/><\/span><meta content=\"2023-04-14T16:10:38+05:30\"\/><meta content=\"2023-04-14T16:10:38+05:30\"\/><meta itemid=\"https:\/\/www.91mobiles.com\/hub\/latest-whatsapp-features-add-security-users\/\"\/><span class=\"td-page-meta\"><span class=\"td-page-meta\"><meta content=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/logo-169x45-white.png\"\/><\/span><meta content=\"91mobiles.com\"\/><\/span><meta content=\"WhatsApp rolls out three new security features for users\"\/><span class=\"td-page-meta\"><meta content=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-security-features-update.jpg\"\/><meta content=\"1200\"\/><meta content=\"675\"\/><\/span><\/footer>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp has added a bunch of new security features that are said to enhance security for user accounts on the platform.
