WhatsApp Verifications and why it’s needed?
WhatsApp verification is important and needed to confirm your identity as the true owner of the account you are trying to login in to or access. Previously there is only one way WhatsApp can confirm if you are truly the owner, which is the old method “SMS verification”.
But recently “Meta WhatsApp” rolled out a new update to the users of WhatsApp to have an additional option of doing this verification which is the email verification, that requires you to link your personal email address to get OTP for login verifications instead of “SMS OTP verifications”.
