WhatsApp does not stop making extremely good changes for iPhone and Android phones around the world, and a very important official measure that it will implement in the future, brings to our attention the fact that the automatic verification of phone numbers will be available sometime in the future.
WhatsApp officially explains below what this automatic phone number verification means on iPhone and Android, the idea behind it being based on the company's desire to simplify this process for everyone, but the function is not yet available globally.
About automatic phone number verification
WhatsApp can automatically verify your login details when you register your phone number. There are several ways WhatsApp can do this:
- By storing a unique code on your phone. This happens when you sign up for WhatsApp and confirm your phone number with a missed call or SMS. The unique code is then used to automatically verify the phone number in the future.
- You can enable end-to-end encrypted backups in Google Drive. If enabled, WhatsApp saves a unique backup code in Google Cloud. This means when you delete and reinstall WhatsApp, you can skip SMS verification and we can verify you automatically.
- WhatsApp can automatically verify your phone number without an SMS or missed call by working with your carrier to validate that your device information matches the phone number you register.
After verification, you'll see a Verified confirmation to let you know that your phone number has been safely verified on your device without sending a code.
Note:
- As always, your personal messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. No one, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.
- You can also use manual verification methods such as missed calls or SMS.
