It is to be noted that WhatsApp already offers a security code verification feature, which enables users to validate security keys with a QR code scan or a unique 60-digit code.
However, this process can be cumbersome and requires manual checking under a contact's info. The new feature eliminates the need for sharing the 60-digit code, providing a more seamless user experience.
The company has stated that these features will be rolled out to all of its users worldwide in the coming months.
