WhatsApp did not have a built-in two-step verification feature. However, it's always a good practice to enable two-step verification on your device itself, which adds an extra layer of security to your accounts, including WhatsApp. Here's how you can enable two-step verification on your device:

For iOS devices:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Scroll down and tap on "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode."
3. Enter your device passcode.
4. Scroll down to the "Allow Access When Locked" section and make sure the "Control Center" option is toggled on.

For Android devices:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on "Security" or "Security & Privacy."
3. Look for the "Lock screen preferences" or "Lock screen" option.
4. Depending on your device, you may need to tap on "Screen lock" or "Screen lock type" to set a passcode, pattern, or PIN.

Enabling a device-level passcode or lock screen pattern adds an extra layer of security to your device, and it helps protect your WhatsApp account and other sensitive information in case your device gets lost or stolen.

Please note that WhatsApp may have introduced new features or updates since my knowledge cutoff date. Therefore, I recommend referring to the official WhatsApp documentation or their support channels for the most up-to-date information on setting up two-step verification within the app.
