WhatsApp an app in Everyone's phone which needs to be secured so that it is safe for its users has now finally rolled out a new Security Update.Lets see what it is all about.
WhatsApp had been testing the Two Step Verification Security feature for almost 7 months ans has now finally rolled out to all its users.
What is Two Step Verification?
In this the users have to set a passcode which acts like a password or pin which only the users know.Whenever you want to use your Whatsapp account on the new phone you have to provide the passcode before using the App.
How is it usefull?
If your Phone is lost or Stolen Or you want to login to your account using a different phone,or may be ypu do not want someone to use your Account without your prior permission all you will have to do is insert the passcode and then only you will be able to login.
This can be usefull when you do not want oters to access your account and to keep your account a bit more safe.
It is similar to any App-lock App maybe.

How to Enable/Disable It?
That's Quiet Easy
- To enable two-step verification,Open WhatsApp > Settings > Account > Two-step verification > Enable.
- And to Disable Do the Same but This Time Use the Disable Button.
Some Points to Note.(FROM WhatsAPP SUPPORT)
- Upon enabling this feature, you can also optionally enter your email address. This email address will allow WhatsApp to send you a link via email to disable two-step verification in case you ever forget your six-digit passcode, and also to help safeguard your account. We do not verify this email address to confirm its accuracy.We highly recommend you provide an accurate email address so that you're not locked out of your account if you forget your passcode.
- Important: If you receive an email to disable two-step verification, but did not request this, do not click on the link. Someone could be attempting to verify your phone number on WhatsApp.
- If you have two-step verification enabled, your number will not be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp within 7 days of last using WhatsApp without your passcode. Thus, if you forget your own passcode, but did not provide an email to disable two-step verification, even you will not be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp within 7 days of last using WhatsApp. After these 7 days, your number will be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp without your passcode, but you will lose all pending messages upon reverifying - they will be deleted. If your number is reverified on WhatsApp after 30 days of last using WhatsApp, and without your passcode, your account will be deleted and a new one will be created upon successfully reverifying.
- Note: To help you remember your passcode, WhatsApp will periodically ask you to enter your passcode. There is no option to disable this without disabling the two-step verification feature.
Available On all the platforms Windows,Android and iOS
What are you waiting for just enable it and be secured.
