How to enable two-step verification in “WhatsApp” on iPhone

WhatsApp has finally implemented two-factor authentication, which adds an additional

security layer. The whole point is that the user creates a 6-digit code, without which it will not be possible to log in and use the WhatsApp application.

Two-factor authentication in the application“WhatsApp” is slightly different from similar procedures in services such as “Google” or “Twitter”, which send you a code in the form of SMS every time you log into your account of the corresponding service. In this case, you need to come up with the code yourself and remember it when setting up the application on a new device. The WhatsApp application will periodically ask you to enter this code so that you do not forget it.
