The platform is said to be working on a feature called "double verification," which is self-explanatory. Here's why we believe this is a crucial feature.

Digital Desk: WhatsApp is reportedly planning to introduce another new feature to improve the experience of its users. The messaging platform is working on a feature that will help users offer double security.

It is said to be working on a feature called "double verification," which is self-explanatory. Here's why we believe this is a crucial feature.

A screenshot of the feature has been posted by WaBetaInfo. It shows that if a person attempts to connect to their WhatsApp account from a different smartphone, they will be subjected to a double verification process.

WhatsApp will ask you to provide a second security code, which it will transmit by SMS to the account's owner. Users currently only have to enter a single 6-digit verification code that they receive on their registered phone number. Users will be aware that their account is being accessed on a mobile phone thanks to the double verification feature.

Because some users have lost their accounts in the past, the addition of double verification will be a crucial feature. Some WhatsApp users may have been duped into providing the verification code, according to reports. If a hacker tries to access your WhatsApp account, they will now need a second 6-digit code. The second code will simply be sent to the account owner, along with a notification that someone is attempting to access your account. You'll be able to tell whether someone is attempting to hack your account or trick you in this way.

According to WaBetaInfo, the double verification function is currently under development and should be provided to beta testers shortly if WhatsApp decides to move forward with it. On iOS, the feature has been discovered.

As a result, it's possible that the company may first test it for the Android version before releasing it to beta testers.
