WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging app at this point. The Meta-owned app is also filled with scammers and malicious actors trying to scam users using the instant messaging app. Now, while WhatsApp has a two-factor authentication in-place for logging in to a new account, attackers are still able to trick users into hijacking into their WhatsApp. This is an issue that has been widespread since a very long time, and WhatsApp may finally be coming with a feature that will fix this problem to a certain extent.
Meta-owned WhatsApp is said to be working on a new feature that adds an extra layer of security before logging into a WhatsApp account. The feature was spotted by WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo and will be rolled out in a future update for Android and iOS users. According to WABetaInfo, this feature is under development so it is not ready to be released to the public.

Recently, a report said that WhatsApp is now working on the ability to edit text messages for a future update of WhatsApp beta testers.
