WhatsApp passkey support on iPhones
comes months after Meta's encrypted messaging app made the feature available

However, rollouts can take time, so keep checking if you don't see passkeys right away.

Alsawah also said that a QR code from
"Linked Devices" will still need to be scanned to log into the platform on other devices.

be primary devices for an account.â
