How To Set Up Two-step Verification On WhatsApp

As a result of the present rise in cyber-crime, WhatsApp created the two-step verification feature to boost security on our accounts. 

When you have two-step verification enabled, any attempt to hack your WhatsApp account will be futile.

1. Open WhatsApp
2. Click on the three little dots at the top right corner of your screen
3. Open Settings
4. Tap Account
5. Select Two-step verification
6. Enable
7. Set up your 6 digit pin
8. Enter your email address
9. Tap save
10. All done!

To enable two-step verification for iPhone:

1. Open WhatsApp
2. Click on the gear icon at the lower-left corner of your screen to Open Settings
3. Tap Account
4. Select Two-step verification
5. Enable
6. Set up your 6 digit pin
7. Enter your email address
8. All done!

If you receive an email to disable two-step verification, but didn’t request this, don’t click on the link. Someone could be attempting to verify your phone number.

Note: To help you remember your PIN, WhatsApp will periodically ask you to enter your PIN. There is no option to disable this without disabling the two-step verification feature.
