WhatsApp works in the version for iOS and Android in a new function that will notify the user when the service detects an attempt to register their number on another device.

WhatsApp requests a verification code when a user activates an account on the service, which is linked to their phone number. The code arrives as a text message to the number entered.

However, cases have been detected in which a third party tries to create an account on WhatsApp with a number that is not yours . In this case, the user does not receive a warning of this attempt, and if he has been the victim of a SIM card hacking, he may not even receive the verification code, which would make him suspect.

WaBetaInfo has found in the latest beta version of the iOS application a function that notifies the user of an attempt to create an account with their phone . Specifically, it will inform you that a registration code request has been received, and will indicate that, if it was not he who requested it, do not share it with anyone.

This function is also related to the possibility of having the same account active on different devices, in which the company also works, according to WaBetaInfo. It would help clarify whether that attempt is the user's own or an attempt to impersonate .

Whatsapp for Android

On the other hand, in the beta version for Android, WaBetaInfo has accessed a new function that will notify the chat if the other party has been blocked .

A message will be displayed, which can only be seen by the user - not the blocked person -, which will indicate that this contact has been blocked, and will offer to press to unlock , if desired.

Also, in the list of blocked contacts, you will make a distinction between contacts and businesses, with the introduction of a second section . The location in one or the other will be done automatically.
