Enhanced Security Features: Account Protect, Device Verification, Automatic Security Codes

At WhatsApp, safeguarding your privacy is paramount. We believe your messages should be as secure as face-to-face conversations, which is why default end-to-end encryption is the cornerstone of our security measures. But we don’t stop there. We’re continually developing new features to provide additional layers of privacy and give you greater control over your messages.

Today, we’re thrilled to unveil some upcoming security enhancements that will further fortify your WhatsApp experience.

Account Protect:

Ensuring the integrity of your WhatsApp account is crucial. That’s why, when you need to switch your WhatsApp account to a new device, we’ll implement an additional security check. You may be asked on your old device to verify this step, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized attempts to move your account.

Device Verification:

Mobile device malware poses a significant threat to privacy and security. To combat this, we’ve integrated checks to authenticate your account automatically, without requiring any action from you. This proactive measure helps safeguard your WhatsApp usage in case your device is compromised, ensuring uninterrupted service.

Automatic Security Codes:

Our security-conscious users have long benefited from our security code verification feature, ensuring secure communication with intended recipients. Now, we’re introducing a seamless process based on “Key Transparency” to automatically verify secure connections. With a simple click on the encryption tab, you can instantly confirm the security of your personal conversations, making the verification process more accessible and convenient for everyone.

These three additional security measures underscore our commitment to protecting your account. While we strive to make security effortless for all, there are two features only you can activate: two-step verification and end-to-end encrypted backups. If you’re already utilizing these, we encourage you to spread the word to your friends, so more people can benefit from these essential security layers.

We’re excited for you to experience the enhanced security these features provide, and we’re dedicated to bringing you more updates in the near future. Stay tuned for further announcements!

🔒 We’re here to keep your conversations secure, always.
