Account Protect
The Account Protect feature prevents unauthorized logins to your WhatsApp account from one device to another. After this feature is on, if someone logs in to your WhatsApp account on another device, it asks for its approval from the old device before logging in. This will have the advantage that if someone tries to open your WhatsApp on their device, you will get an instant alert.
