For WhatsApp to become compatible with 2FA for Instagram on their phones, users will have to be enable text message authentication to toggle on WhatsApp.

Moreover, users will have the option to never use it, or make use of Authentication apps. There’s a number of those available on the market, ranging from the one at Google, or the one at Microsoft.

Multi-Device Login Made Easier

This comes even as WhatsApp works to make its multi-device system available to users, and 2FA will help people easily log into their accounts on Instagram, even if their main  device is off.

As of now, the app is still under development, and details on whether it will be made available on Android or Apple, have not yet been revealed.

How It Will Work

As per Paluzzi’s Twitter posts, he was able to turn the option ON through his phone somehow, and he displayed through some photos how the authentication will work.

Once the 2FA has been switched on through the users’ Instagram account, they will be asked to enable SMS notifications, so that the code can be sent to them. Following this, they will be required to enter their mobile number so that their WhatsApp account can be verified.

Users will also be informed that Whatsapp won’t be saving any of the data they enter.
