On WhatsApp, your conversations belong only to you and the people you\u2019re talking to. It\u2019s why we built end-to-end encryption by default, and it\u2019s why we continue adding new ways to keep your account secure and in your hands. Here are a few we\u2019ve been working on.<\/span><\/p>\n Two-step verification is an extra protection layer that helps prevent someone from taking over your account, even if they get a hold of your one-time passcode. Until now, it was a six-digit PIN, but we\u2019ve upgraded it to a full password: longer, alphanumeric, and even with special characters to make it harder to guess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you get a call from someone who isn\u2019t saved in your contacts, a little context can help you decide whether to pick up. On Android, you\u2019ll now see more information about a non-contact caller, like whether the number is from a different country and if you have any groups in common. Scammers rely on urgency \u2014 now you can take a beat with some more info before answering.<\/span><\/p>\n A passkey lets you log back into WhatsApp with your fingerprint, face ID, or screen lock code. It\u2019s the fastest and most secure way to verify it\u2019s really you, with no codes or PINs. More than a billion people have already set one up, and you can now add more than one passkey to your account if you use both Android and iOS devices. To get started, go to Settings > Account > Passkeys.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ll keep building tools that help you stay in control of your account and boost account security.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nTwo-Step Verification Is Setting Stronger<\/h2>\n
