Meta adds three new features to keep WhatsApp accounts secure

Meta introduced three security features for WhatsApp: enhanced two-step verification, caller information for unknown numbers, and support for multiple passkeys per account. These additions aim to strengthen account protection and reduce unauthorized access risks.

Why it matters: WhatsApp users need these controls to prevent account takeovers and unwanted access, especially those handling sensitive communications or at higher risk of credential compromise.
