WhatsApp is working on a new feature in its latest iOS update: an emergency login option using email.
This method allows users to access their accounts when faced with connectivity issues, a significant boon for those in emergency situations without cellular service.
To activate this feature, users need to download WhatsApp for iOS version 23.24.70, navigate to the Settings tab, and select the Account option to find the email login feature.
This backup method requires users to input their email, subsequently receiving a secure six-digit code for login.
It's important to note that this feature doesn't replace the conventional phone number login; it serves as a supplementary option for specific scenarios.
While entering an email for login, users' email addresses will solely function as a means to access the account, maintaining confidentiality.
The year 2023 has witnessed essential steps, including the introduction of the Protect IP Address tool and support for passkeys.
Additionally, there are plans to implement usernames on Android, offering an extra layer of privacy.
This strategic move aligns with Meta's dedication to fortifying WhatsApp's security measures.
