Presenting WhatsApp’s Email Login Option for a Seamless Experience
As first discovered by WABetaInfo, this feature is quite straightforward. All you have to do is enter your email address into the application and click the verification link emailed to verify who owns it. After adding it, you can use your email address for logging into the app, primarily to receive the 6-digit code when logging in.
This feature becomes highly valuable when you need to log in on a new device while in a location without mobile network coverage. It’s also useful when you’re looking to transition to a different phone without immediately transferring your SIM card to the new phone.
