WhatsApp continues to reinforce the security of its application, because this time they are developing a tool called “login approval”, which will prevent cybercriminals from easily taking over your account, reported the technology portal WabetaInfo.

Currently, login to the account of WhatsApp from a third person is not a complicated task, since it is enough for the criminal to duplicate the SIM card of your phone and open your account in a secondary mobile device, equipment where he will place that fraudulent chip so that the “verification code” arrives by SMS, the only thing you need to access and review your conversations.

“Login approval” is currently in the Beta version of WhatsApp 2.22.17.22 for Android devices, it is likely that in the next few days or weeks it will also reach iOS users. How does it work? simple, If someone tries to access your account from another phone, your cell phone will receive the following alert “Allow moving your WhatsApp account to another phone?”you have two options: “Allow” or “Do not allow”, if it is not you, choose the last one.
