WhatsApp has been working on two-step verification for the past several months. 

"When you have the feature enabled, any attempt to verify your phone number on WhatsApp must be accompanied by the six-digit passcode that you choose," WhatsApp said in a statement. 

Users can activate the two-step verification process by going into 'Settings' and then tapping the 'Account' where they can enable 'Two-step verification'. 

The new feature will be available to all 1.2 billion WhatsApp users across iPhone, Android and Windows.
