WhatsApp will allow users to check messages using a QR code



WhatsApp developers are going to offer a new tool that allows millions of users of this application to check the accuracy of messages using the new encryption system, which involves scanning a QR code.

According to XatakaAndroid , the developers of WhatsApp have published various offers. in different languages ​​on its special portal for translators, designed to localize this application. Many have perceived this as tips on new features that can be implemented.

This time, the proposals mention point-to-point encryption in WhatsApp, which protects the confidentiality of messages, the need to scan a QR code to check that the chat is correctly encrypted, and how to activate the option that will be presented in the menu with settings.

This means that each user can manually check whether his conversations are safe, not so much because WhatsApp increases its security, but rather to help each user ensure that his privacy is not at risk. The only drawback of this option is that the sender and receiver must physically be in the same place for this function to work.

To perform such a check, User A must scan the QR code on User B’s device , and vice versa, which may seem strange, since if both people are physically located in the same place, it is unlikely that they will communicate through WhatsApp, being opposite each other.

We are still waiting for application developers to confirm this new feature and provide details.
