In the realm of “business WhatsApp Web,” this advancement could signal a heightened focus on providing secure and reliable communication tools for enterprises. Businesses often leverage WhatsApp Web for efficient communication, and the introduction of email verification could be a proactive measure to address the unique security needs of corporate users.

This sounds like what Element has been doing for years already. You can sign up with an email and optionally link a phone number to your account. When WhatsApp does it though, it’s newsworthy.

I am waiting for Cross Messenger Law of Europe it means that Signal and Whatsapp User can talk to each other.

If Whatsapp really wants to scare away there Users many are gonna switch because of the Email old persons have EMails but no clue how to use it.

Its easier to install another Messenger than EMail Verifikation.

You mean instead of tying into a phone, right ?

The only point in time my lack of a phone number becomes an issue is for archaic stuff like this.

watsapp, fellow kidz?!
