Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Code_Verify-_How_it_Works\"><\/span>What is Code Verify- How it Works?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CodeVerify is an open-source extension available for <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/tag\/google-chrome\">Google Chrome<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/tag\/microsoft-edge\">Microsoft Edge<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/tag\/brave\">Brave<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/tag\/firefox\">Firefox<\/a> browsers. The extension checks the authenticity of the WhatsApp Web client being served to you. It then alerts if your WhatsApp Web is modified or altered in any manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For apps on the phone, it&#8217;s easy to check whether you&#8217;re using an authentic version. However, the same is difficult for web-based implementation. When you use WhatsApp via the web, you&#8217;re served Javascript and not a binary application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it vulnerable, and you could be possibly be using Whatsapp Web made to spy on you without even knowing the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatsapp has partnered with Cloudflare to verify that everyone using WhatsApp Web is accessing the same code. The extension scans the Javascript code to ensure it matches the original code. If there&#8217;s any difference, it will immediately alert you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Code_Verify_to_Check_if_WhatsApp_Web_is_Safe\"><\/span>How to Use Code Verify to Check if WhatsApp Web is Safe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/code-verify\/llohflklppcaghdpehpbklhlfebooeog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Code Verify extension<\/a> page in your browser.

Furthermore, WhatsApp won&#8217;t know if you have downloaded the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Code_Verify_Extension_is_Not_Working\"><\/span>3.
