WhatsApp starts releasing a passkey feature for iOS
After a long testing procedure, WhatsApp has finally started releasing the most useful and prominent passkey feature for iOS. This feature is designed to offer users an additional layer of security and convenience in accessing their accounts. However, it is already available for Android users.
As per the details, WhatsApp is rolling out a passkey feature for iOS with version 24.4.10.78, also, it’s an optional element providing users with flexibility. Hence, if you don’t feel the need to keep your WhatsApp account screened or secure, then you can keep it disabled, and can also enable it anytime.
But, keeping the passkey enabled will enhance both the security and convenience of user accounts, as it introduces an alternative layer of authentication. By eliminating the necessity for a 6-digit code each time users access their accounts, this feature improves the login process, saving time and effort.
In addition, it aligns with modern authentication methods, enhancing user-friendliness and intuitiveness. This process also caters to user needs and circumstances, making the authentication process faster and enhancing the overall user experience.
Furthermore, the passkey feature is currently rolling out for iOS beta testers and will be available for general consumers in the coming weeks.
