WhatsApp Is Rolling Out , Passkeys for iOS. The announcement was made on April 24. WhatsApp passkey support on iPhones comes months after Meta's encrypted messaging app made the feature available to Android users, The Verge reports. .

To enable passkeys for WhatsApp on iOS, open settings, then go to accounts, which is where you'll find the option. However, rollouts can take time, so keep checking if you don't see passkeys right away. WhatsApp spokesperson Zade Alsawah said more people should see the option "in the coming weeks.". Alsawah also said that a QR code from "Linked Devices" will still need to be scanned to log into the platform on other devices. “since Mac, Windows and web can’t be primary devices for an account.”
