Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly introducing a new 'automatic security code verification' feature for its end-to-end encryption. This update is currently being tested by a select group of beta testers on Android. The feature aims to streamline the process of verifying if messages are encrypted from end to end. According to WABetaInfo, it functions automatically, eliminating the need for user intervention. This system, referred to as "Key Transparency," boosts the overall security and privacy of user conversations by confirming the use of a secure connection. However, the platform will still retain the option for manual verification in case the automatic process encounters any issues or if it's not available. This automatic verification feature proves especially useful in situations where traditional methods like QR code scanning or manual verification are impractical, allowing users to easily verify encryption remotely.
