Social messaging app, WhatsApp on Friday rolled out a two-step verification process for all devices to enhance the security of users' accounts.

WhatsApp has been working on a two-step verification for the past several months.

Users can activate a two-step verification process by going into 'Settings' and then tapping the 'Account' where they can enable a 'Two-step verification'.

When you have the feature enabled, any attempt to verify your phone number on WhatsApp must be accompanied by the six-digit passcode that you choose.
