WhatsApp To Delete Archive Chats When They Are No Longer Needed
WhatsApp, a Facebook-owned messaging application, is apparently working on a feature that...
Popular messaging application WhatsApp is working on a new feature “Flash Call” that will help users to log into their accounts quickly.
Using this automatic verification method via WhatsApp Flash Call, the company will call your phone number and then automatically end the call, checking the last phone number in your phone’s log is equal to the number that gives you the 6-digit code.
WhatsApp is now working on an introduction for the feature to explain why it needs to be permitted to make and manage calls and access to your phone’s log.
According to WABetaInfo, “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.”
However, the messaging application will not use your call history for any other purpose. It will only compare the most recent entry from your call history with the phone number that is supposed to call you and will not be used in any other circumstances.
Furthermore, this feature is being developed and will be available in a future WhatsApp for Android update.
