Meta’s WhatsApp is introducing a new feature on iOS that enhances security and convenience for users – passkeys. Passkeys allow for easy and secure logins by utilizing Touch ID and Face ID, eliminating the need for traditional passwords.

Here are some key points about WhatsApp’s new passkeys feature:

– Passkeys are rolling out on iOS, offering a more secure and user-friendly way to log in.
– With passkeys, you can bypass SMS code verification when you’re without network access while traveling. All you need is Touch ID or Face ID authentication.
– To set up passkeys, simply log in the next time you open WhatsApp or go to Settings > Account > Passkeys within the app.
– Passkeys eliminate the use of passwords and are a collaborative effort between Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the FIDO Alliance to enhance biometric security.

This latest update comes shortly after WhatsApp integrated Meta AI into its platform, joining forces with Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram to introduce an AI chatbot for users.

Stay tuned as passkeys start rolling out on iOS, providing a more secure and convenient way to access your WhatsApp account. Embrace this new era of biometric security with passkeys!
