New Delhi, August 8: Meta-owned platform, WhatsApp, is expected to update its verification badge from green to blue, soon. WhatsApp verification ticks are essential for users to identify genuine accounts for ensuring they interact with verified accounts. The upcoming update to the WhatsApp verification tick will likely make it easier for users to recognise verified accounts, as blue ticks are already familiar with Instagram and Facebook.

As per a report of Hindustan Times, WhatsApp will soon introduce Instagram-like blue ticks for verified accounts. The change is expected to help and benefit its users to quickly and easily identify verified profiles and businesses on the platform. The decision can be seen as Meta's strategy of standardising its verification system across its platforms. Users can expect the update to roll out soon. WhatsApp New Update: Meta AI Voice Feature To Soon Convert Speech Into Text for Users.
