How To Verify The Authenticity Of WhatsApp Web Using Code Verify?

With the increasing use of WhatsApp Web, ensuring its authenticity has become more important than ever. Cybersecurity threats and phishing attempts are on the rise, and users need a reliable way to confirm they’re using the official, unaltered version of WhatsApp Web. That’s where Code Verify, a browser extension developed by Meta (WhatsApp’s parent company), comes into play.
