WhatsApp announced that it was levelling up its security measures, as part of its effort to thwart scammers or hackers looking to fool users or take over their accounts.
The instant messaging service owned by Meta noted that more than 1 billion people were using a passkey.
This feature allows users to log back into WhatsApp with their fingerprint, face ID, or screen lock code, rather than relying on their codes or PINs.
WhatsApp reported that more than one billion people had already set up passkeys, and that users could add more than one for their Android and iOS devices.
