WhatsApp's new iOS feature allows email association for login, aiding users struggling with SMS codes. The update improves performance and introduces a new interface. Additionally, it provides easier access to AI-powered chats, enhancing user experience.

In
a bid to enhance accessibility, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, introduces a new
feature for iOS users. Now, users can link an email address to their accounts,
providing an additional login option, especially helpful if SMS code reception
poses challenges.
To
utilize this feature, navigate to WhatsApp Settings, access the Account
section, and link an email address. While this feature offers an alternative,
creating and logging into an account still requires a phone number.
WhatsApp recently rolled out the 23.24.70 update for iOS users, mainly addressing performance issues. However, the official changelog lacks specifics about the introduced features, highlighting bug fixes that improved user experience.
If
the feature isn't available yet, it's likely to gradually reach users in the
upcoming weeks. Keep an eye on WhatsApp updates in the App Store or TestFlight
app to catch this enhancement.
Furthermore,
users might notice a revamped interface with a new green color in the latest
update (WhatsApp for iOS 23.21.72). Stay observant of these visual alterations
upon installing the update.
This
email association feature aims to diversify login methods, ensuring
accessibility even when encountering difficulties with SMS codes.
Moreover, the recent WhatsApp update introduces a convenient button above the chat icon, enabling swift access to AI-powered chats directly from the Chats tab. This streamlines the process, allowing users to reach these specialized chats without navigating through their contact list.
