WhatsApp Is Rolling Out , Passkeys for iOS.
The announcement was made on April 24.
WhatsApp passkey support on iPhones
comes months after Meta's encrypted messaging app made the feature available
to Android users, The Verge reports. .
Passkeys are meant to replace passwords because they are more secure and convenient.
They also enable you to sign in when disconnected from a network.
To enable passkeys for WhatsApp on
iOS, open settings, then go to accounts,
which is where you'll find the option.
However, rollouts can take time, so keep checking if you don't see passkeys right away.
WhatsApp spokesperson Zade Alsawah
said more people should see the option
"in the coming weeks.".
Alsawah also said that a QR code from
"Linked Devices" will still need to be scanned to log into the platform on other devices.
“since Mac, Windows and web can’t
be primary devices for an account.”
