WhatsApp is working on a new ‘Flash Calls’ for Quick Log In
WhatsApp is reportedly working on a ‘Flash Call’ feature that will verify user log-in on WhatsApp via a ‘flash call’. This will let users log in to their WhatsApp account quickly and safely.
According to the report by WABetaInfo, the new feature which is in development is called ‘Flash Calls’ is currently in the WhatsApp beta for the Android 2.21.11.7 update.
Through this method, “WhatsApp will call your phone number and then automatically end the call, verifying that the last phone number in your phone’s log is equal to the number that gives you the 6-digit code. This phone number is always different, so there is no way to trick this method, ensuring a safe experience,” WABetaInfo says.
Also, this feature is optional, and users can continue logging into WhatsApp confirming the 6-digit code received via SMS or call. However, this flash call feature is under development and is not enabled in beta yet.
