device verification
The feature protects users from on-device malware attacks and is reportedly built into the security package and requires no effort from the user. Ergo, you can use WhatsApp just like you were doing and the app will automatically take care of your account.
automatic security code
With automatic security codes, WhatsApp has made it easy for users to be sure that their chats are encrypted and secure. Users can now quickly check for a secure connection by tapping on the Encryption tab, which you can find under the contact’s information.

What this means for you is that when you click on the Encryption tab, you’ll immediately be able to verify that your personal conversations is safe,” said WhatsApp.
