WhatsApp users on iPhone can now enjoy a more streamlined and secure login process with the introduction of Passkeys, a feature already available on Android devices. This feature simplifies the login process by utilizing the iPhone’s biometric capabilities, such as Face ID and Touch ID. Passkeys offers several advantages over traditional login methods. It enhances security by verifying the user’s identity through biometric authentication, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, Passkeys eliminates the need for SMS confirmation codes, which can be unreliable or delayed. This provides a significant convenience improvement, especially in situations where network connectivity is limited. To activate Passkeys, iPhone users can navigate to the WhatsApp app’s Settings, select the Account section, and look for the Passkeys option. If the feature is not yet available, users can check back later as it is being gradually rolled out. WhatsApp’s head of product, Alice Newton-Rex, expressed excitement about the launch of Passkeys, emphasizing its benefits for enhanced security and user convenience.
