WhatsApp rolling out 6-digit code to log into app from secondary device

In November, WhatsApp released companion mode for select beta testers to link their WhatsApp account to a mobile phone in addition to the primary device. Now, the Meta-owned platform is reportedly working on a feature to give users the ability to get a 6-digit code right within WhatsApp, after they approve a login to use the account on the secondary device.

This update has been reported by WABetaInfo, a website that tracks developments related to the instant messaging service. WABetaInfo shared a screenshot to show how the update will work.

As seen in the screenshot, a new verification options shows up within the verification sheet, asking users if they want to receive the 6-digit code on their main phone. If the feature is enabled, the code will be delivered on the primary device.
