In an upgrade to privacy checkup, WhatsApp has introduced additional steps to protect users from identification theft which always leads to hacking and the complete control of users’ phone account by the hackers.
Tagged “Introducing Privacy Checkup” the new upgrade allows owners to “take control of what you share and who you share it with.”
The Privacy Checkup will guide users through privacy settings to help them choose the right level of protection.
Included in the new upgrade is the Screen Lock which is an enhancement to the initial Two-step Verification.
With the Screen Lock which requires Face Identification, only the users can unlock the WhatsApp screen by positioning their face on the screen for it to be accessed.
The process begins from “Try It” and it leads to the last stage of Face capturing.
The upgrade was sent to all WhatsApp users on Wednesday, November 22, 2023.
