The double check of Whatsapp

WAInfoBeta recently reported that WhatsApp is developing a double check code to improve the security of its users, since criminals managed to circumvent the system current.

Thus, the idea is that when adding the WhatsApp number on a different cell phone, an additional code will be requested in addition to the first one, sent by SMS. Therefore, after the first successful attempt, another six-digit code will be required to complete the process.

It is worth remembering, therefore, that this feature is still in the development process, and it is not known when exactly it will be released. Experts, however, say that in addition to the second layer, a third layer would make the application even more secure.
