Verifying your email on WhatsApp
- The email verification feature is included in the iOS 23.24.70 version of WhatsApp. Although it isn’t shown in the changelog, WABetaInfo has verified that the feature is accessible.
- Navigating to Settings > Account > Email Address will allow you to see if you have access to this service. You’ll need to confirm your email address after entering it.
- So, you have the option to use email address verification if you are unable to authenticate your WhatsApp account using the six-digit SMS number.
- It’s crucial to understand that WhatsApp is only giving customers an additional access option; email addresses are not being used in place of phone numbers.
- Verifying an email address is merely an addition to phone numbers—it is not their replacement. Thus, in order to open a new WhatsApp account, you would still require a phone number.
Users of iPhones who have updated WhatsApp to the most recent version from the App Store ought to be able to access this functionality. However, if you haven’t gotten it yet, it ought to be accessible shortly. WhatsApp has now made it available to all users, but before it was only accessible to beta testers.
WhatsApp has been hard at work adding testing and new features to the app. It just released an upgrade for iOS that makes hosting big group calls simpler. Previously, WhatsApp users could initiate group calls with a maximum of 15 participants, but now it enables up to 32 members in a single chat. iOS users of WhatsApp can now add up to 31 people at once to a group call thanks to a recent upgrade.
