How will the login feature work on WhatsApp?
Whenever a new user, or if the original user of the account will try to log in from an unknown device, the login feature will send the primary device a notification. The user, in the notification alert, then will be asked to either allow or deny the login attempt. The user will also be notified about the time of login attempt and the device used for login.
When will WhatsApp rollout this feature?
WhatsApp is currently working on this feature and it has not been disclosed yet when it will go live for all users.
Reportedly, the company is also working on a feature that would enable the user to see previous participants in a particular group. But, WhatsApp is currently only working on this feature for iOS and it will be initially rolled out for iPhone users.
