On a WABetaInfo published over the weekend, the site found that WhatsApp is also working on a two-step verification feature for its desktop and web clients. If the company goes ahead with a release, the tool will allow you to add a personal pin to your account.

This is something that will help protect you from SIM swapping attacks.
