WhatsApp increases security
According to the statement, in cases where a user installs WhatsApp on a new device, the WhatsApp account on the old device will be asked to verify this device. This will prevent different people from accessing the WhatsApp account. The company states that this method will only be activated when suspicious installations are detected. If the person does not have access to their old device, they will be able to request a second one-time login password from the company.
WhatsApp also activates suspicious motion detection in the background. This method, which learns the interaction of users with the application, can detect and prevent the unusual movements of malicious software. The user does not experience any interruptions during this time. On the other hand, users will be able to check whether their connections with their friends are encrypted by going to the Encryption menu, with a QR code or a 60-digit comparison code. These updates will be available to users in the coming weeks.
