YOGYAKARTA WhatsApp does not seem to be playing games to protect its users. This can be seen from several new security features of WhatsApp that users will soon be able to feel. From WhatsApp's announcement, there are three features that will soon be released to strengthen security while maintaining the privacy of its users' accounts. Then, what are the latest WhatsApp security features?

The security features released by WhatsApp include Account Protection, Device Verification, and Automatic Security Codes. These three new features will add to the security of its users. Here's the explanation.

WhatsApp security will ensure you are the legal owner of the account when changing new devices. The system will verify the old mobile device when you decide to replace the new device as an additional check.

This means that when you log in to a new device, verification will appear to ensure that the new and previous owners are the same. This feature will alert when there is an illegal attempt from a foreign device when trying to access your Whatsapp account.

The existence of malware can be one of the threats to the privacy and security of smartphone owners. The impact of malware can be very dangerous, even being able to take advantage of mobile devices without the permission of the owner, one of which is sending WhatsApp messages to contacts without the knowledge of the owner. To insult this, WhatsApp added an additional check.

This feature is able to prevent the bad things caused by malware automatically, so users don't need to take any additional action.

The existence of the "Lock Transparation" feature on WhatsApp is useful for automated verification steps to ensure that users are on a secure network. When a user clicks on an encryption tab, the automatatis of a private chat becomes safer.

The purpose of this feature is so that the message really reaches the recipient properly so that there are no loopholes to misuse. Your conversations via WhatsApp are also not vulnerable to leakage issues.

WhatsApp also emphasized the importance of securing accounts and chats with two-step verification (2FA) activation measures and using an end-to-end encrypted backup chat feature.

"The following are three additional ways we do to help secure your account. While there are many ways we can do to make security for everyone, there are two features that can be activated by only you: two-step verification and end-to-end encrypted backup usage," wrote WhatsApp's official statement.

If you have used these two features, tell your friends so that more people can take advantage of this layer of security. We hope that WhatsApp users can enjoy the increased security offered by these features. Look forward to more updates that we will announce soon," he continued.

For information, these three new WhatsApp security features will be felt by all WhatsApp users both Android and iOS in the next few months. In the meantime, this feature will be available especially for the beta tester version of WhatsApp in the near future.
