An important move for iPhone users 一 WhatsApp has finally introduced a passkey feature for iOS users to enhance security and provide relief from common OTP headaches. Android users have been experiencing this 'passkey' feature for about six months now.

  • Launch WhatsApp and navigate to Settings.
  • Now Select Account and choose Passkeys option.
  • Create your Passkey using FaceID or Touch ID and confirm with a simple tap.
