With passkeys, you can secure your WhatsApp account using iPhone biometrics including Face ID, Touch ID, or your iPhone's passcode. This eliminates the risk of unauthorized access through stolen verification codes.

The passkey is securely stored in your iCloud Keychain, making it readily available even when you're offline. This means you can log in to WhatsApp without needing an internet connection, as long as you have your phone with you.

Additionally, using your phone's biometrics for verification offers a smoother and more convenient login experience.
