In today’s digital era, whatever apps or social media platforms we use, login or verification process is very important from security point of view. But waiting for OTP again and again, getting upset when the message does not arrive and switching between different apps is quite tiring.
Telecom company to end this problem forever Vodafone Idea (Vi) Has taken a big step. The company has launched Meta’s most popular platforms— WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram But has announced to start ‘Silent Mobile Verification’ (SMV) facility for its customers. After the introduction of this technology, users are going to get a very secure and password-free digital experience.
What is Silent Mobile Verification (SMV) and how will it work?
It is a network-based authentication technology. In simple words, when you login to any of Meta’s apps (like WhatsApp or Instagram), your Vodafone Idea network will automatically verify your mobile number in the background. For this you will not need to enter any OTP manually.
In which works will you get direct benefit from it?
According to the company, the scope of this technology will not be limited to just normal login, but customers will benefit from it at many levels:
-
Creating a new account: New users will not have to go through a lengthy verification process at the time of onboarding.
