New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature which allows users to link their account to an email address.
As a result, instead of SMS, users can now use email verification to authenticate on WhatsApp.
The feature was previously available in a beta version of WhatsApp, and it is now available to everyone.
As noted by WABetaInfo, version 23.24.70 of WhatsApp for iOS has been released on the App Store, adding the email verification feature.
Users can use this option instead of SMS verification if they are in a place without cellular coverage and need to log in to their WhatsApp account.
To add an email address to your account, tap the Your Profile page, then the Account menu, and finally Email Address.
