Since the app was born, it has allowed users to login with a mobile phone number. Now, it has started testing a new feature which allows users to link their email with their WhatsApp account. Mind you, this follows security features which have been recently added like Chat Lock, Device Verification etc. The ability to add your email to your WhatsApp account adds a verification layer to the app, allowing you to use it for account authentication in addition to your mobile number, which was the only option earlier. This feature will likely come in handy when your cellular network coverage is poor or unavailable. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How to link your email with WhatsApp" comment="subhead" text="How to link your email with WhatsApp">How to link your email with WhatsApp</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="WhatsApp Email" msid="105410439" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can now link your email to your WhatsApp account&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> WhatsApp is now allowing users to link their email with their WhatsApp account, here’s how you can do it: <ul><li>Open WhatsApp on your phone and click on your picture to open settings.</li><li>Now, click on “Account” and then click on “Email address”.</li><li>Then, enter your email address and click on “Next”.</li><li>Enter the six-digit OTP received on your email and submit.</li></ul>That’s all you need to do to link your email with your WhatsApp account.

This does not mean that you can create a new account just with an email, without having to verify your phone number. Your number is still the primary login method.

How to use JioMart on WhatsApp

Ordering groceries, vegetables and daily essentials is just a WhatsApp away as billionaire <keyword id="3820" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mukesh-ambani" source="Orion">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>'s e-commerce platform <keyword id="8506093" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="jiomart" source="Orion">JioMart</keyword> taps into the popular messaging app to scale up online business in its fight for dominance in the giant Indian retail market with Amazon and Walmart-owned Flipkart. <keyword id="10924" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ambani" source="Orion">Ambani</keyword>'s twin children, Akash and Isha gave a preview of the ordering at Meta's second edition of the Fuel for India event on Wednesday. A new 'tap and chat' option allows users to order groceries through WhatsApp. Delivery is free and there is no minimum order value. Customer can fill their shopping carts within the app and pay either via JioMart or in cash on delivery. "The JioMart experience through WhatsApp is actually, very simply put - 'conversational' in nature. WhatsApp is extremely simple and easy to use; So there's no customer inhibition when ordering for supplies," said Akash. It's extremely intuitive - so there are no barriers to technology. "And digital shopping is now just an extension of messaging via WhatsApp to JioMart, it's all taken care of in a couple of steps effortlessly." Isha said all a customer needs to do is just order away on JioMart. "Bread, butter, vegetables, beverages, everything that you need in your household that day or that week... look up a product, set up a subscription for a regular buy if that's what you want, or get personalized recommendations based on your past purchase history, it's all there," she said. Facebook, now known as Meta, in April last year invested $5.7 billion for a 9.99 per cent in <keyword id="2003276" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="jio" source="Orion">Jio</keyword> Platforms, the digital and telecom arm of Ambani's <keyword id="105301" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-industries-ltd-" source="Orion">Reliance Industries Ltd.</keyword> The partnership was aimed at connecting over 400 million WhatsApp users and half a million retailers that Reliance has on its network. And playing a catalyst is cheap data that 425 million subscribers of <keyword id="6354504" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-jio" source="Orion">Reliance Jio</keyword> get. The orders are executed using the network of <keyword id="58448" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-retail" source="Orion">Reliance Retail</keyword>, the biggest brick-and-mortar store chain. Also, repaid users of Reliance Jio can recharge using WhatsApp. "As Jio and Meta teams work closely, we are opening more and more avenues of working together. One such avenue is Jio on WhatsApp, which is simplifying the entire 'prepaid recharge'," Akash said. This, he said, will bring consumers convenience like they've never had before. "Yes, it makes it very simple for anybody to adopt. For example, for older citizens who at times may find it difficult to head outside, this Jio recharge feature through WhatsApp is so helpful! And payments on WhatsApp adds to that ease!" Isha said. Akash said it is really exciting how the end-to-end experience for Recharge through WhatsApp along with the ability to make payments can potentially make the lives of millions of Jio subscribers much more convenient. JioMart delivers from fruits and vegetables to cereal, toothpaste and cooking staples like panner and chickpea flour ordered through WhatsApp. Food and groceries account for nearly half of India's retail spending, which is projected to reach as much as $1.3 trillion by 2025, according to Boston Consulting Group. Interconnected to the entire scheme is Jio's low-priced smartphone that it is offering in association with Google. The phone comes preloaded with the JioMart and WhatsApp apps. Last year, Google invested $4.5 billion for a 7.73 per cent stake in Jio Platforms Ltd. "We believe that small businesses are the bedrock of our country's economic backbone. The pandemic really brought home the truth that small merchant shops, retailers, and small businesses urgently needed to convert their physical brick and mortar stores to digital storefronts," Isha said. The partnership with Meta allowed to quickly leverage the strength of the WhatsApp platform that provides access to over 400 million people. "With an equal number of Jio subscribers it seemed like a natural progression for us to be able to support these businesses not only through a digital connection with their customers online, but also to quickly develop and build very specific digital-commerce solutions," she said. Akash said JioMart currently has over half a million retailers and is growing every day. "We were very clear that the JioMart's unmatched network - both in online and offline retail should be leveraged optimally, given the size of the opportunity." "We continue to be so excited about our partnership with Meta and in collaboration with the WhatsApp team, we intend to build out native features that will not only help users shop seamlessly on WhatsApp but will also help retailers increase stock assortments, improve margins and get them closer to perhaps a larger base of customers, like never before. "They will be able to get new orders in addition to keeping their relationships with their regular user base intact," he added.

However, Facebook has its eye on the ball and is betting on its recent investment in <keyword id="3820" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>’s Reliance and digital wallet Novi — formerly known as Calibri — to continue bringing in ad revenue. The number of job openings at Facebook that used to pop up were down by nearly 50% at the end of July. GlobalData job analytics database estimates that there were about 1,102 job postings in January but only 551 in July. Even though the overall number of jobs at Facebook dipped, prominent openings were spotted for senior-level positions at the company within payments, e-commerce and advertising. “Though it has not yet had a big impact on the company's earnings, Facebook seems to be concerned that more companies will join the bandwagon, prompting the social media giant to hire senior personnel in the advertising space,” Autojyoti Bose, the lead analyst at GlobalData said in a statement. Facebook job openings at senior level positions Facebook investment in Jio Platforms is in conjunction with JioMart — an online grocery delivery platform. The deal is seen as a strategic move by Facebook to roll-out its payments platform, WhatsApp Pay, in India where other players have already established themselves like Google, Paytm, and PhonePe. In May, Facebook rebranded Calibra to Novi to distance itself from the bad press around its cryptocurrency project. While Libra will continue to operate independently from the company, Novi is purely a Facebook project. The plan is for Novi’s first product to be a cryptocurrency wallet. While one doesn’t need a Facebook or WhatsApp account in order to sign up for the digital wallet, it will be directly accessible from either app. In addition to Novi and Jio, Facebook Financial is a new division that was created to add payments and financial services to the company’s existing line of products. Researchers at GlobalData believe the underlying reason is the drive commerce and advertising bottom line — bring in more money.

In 2019, these companies combined spent a total of $237.4 million on ads on Facebook, according to data by Pathmatics.

One of the upcoming features to look forward to is the ability to send messages to yourself. This feature is expected to be a part of an update to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/whatsapp-will-soon-allow-you-to-use-the-same-account-on-multiple-phones/articleshow/91153204.cms">multi-device feature</a> launched earlier this year. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Send messages to yourself" comment="subhead" text="Send messages to yourself">Send messages to yourself</cmsannotation> According to a <a href="https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-is-working-on-showing-up-your-own-chat-on-linked-devices/">report</a> by WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned messaging app is working on a new feature that will allow you to send a message to yourself while using the desktop version. The feature was spotted in the desktop beta and said, “send a message to yourself”. If you are wondering why you would need to send a message to yourself, this is a good option if you want to save a message or media to look at in the future. This allows you to save important messages and media in the app quickly. WhatsApp’s competitor, Telegram has had this feature for a long time now in the form of “Saved Messages”. This allows users to send whatever they want, including text, images and videos, to this chat, allowing them to view it later. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Survey" comment="subhead" text="Survey">Survey</cmsannotation> WhatsApp is also <a href="https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-is-working-on-in-app-surveys/">working</a> on adding surveys to the app. However, this is expected to be a limited feature and will only be used by the company to take feedback about the app from users. As part of this, users will receive a chat request from “WhatsApp Surveys”, a business account. Users will have the option to participate or decline the request. WhatsApp is expected to use this to take feedback about new features, updates and more. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Bug Reports" comment="subhead" text="Bug Reports">Bug Reports</cmsannotation> WhatsApp is also working on a new feature that will allow users to easily submit bug reports when they face an issue on the app. Users can submit text and supporting images while reporting a bug.

<ul><li>Facebook has bought 9.9% in Reliance Jio for $5.7 billion. </li><li>The bigger reason for the buy-in is how <keyword id="4878801" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp-pay">WhatsApp Pay</keyword> and Reliance Retail can use this partnership to help each other out. </li><li>The payments platform can use Reliance’s massive network of offline stores to monetise its data, while Reliance can use the ‘household’ name to finally yield success with a seamless payments system. </li></ul>Everyone is excited about the deal between Facebook and Reliance Jio in hope that it will result in a new ‘super app’ for India. However, the partnership between Facebook and Reliance Jio has a few more layers than what is visible at first glance. The secret sauce to this deal is the potential for Facebook’s payment solutions — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/whatsapp-payments-launching-in-india-against-paytm-google-pay-phone-pe-for-1-trillion-opporunity/articleshow/70376672.cms">WhatsApp Pay</a>. And, this is the reason why <keyword id="6354630" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="mark-zuckerberg">Mark Zuckerberg</keyword> is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/heres-why-facebooks-mark-zuckerberg-is-paying-top-dollar-for-a-stake-in-mukesh-ambanis-reliance-jio/articleshow/75286331.cms">paying top dollar for a stake</a> in <keyword id="3820" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>’s Reliance Jio. “Our goal is to enable new opportunities for businesses of all sizes, but especially for the more than 60 million small businesses across India,” said Facebook’s chief revenue officer, David Fisher, and the VP and managing director of India, Ajit Mohan in a <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2020/04/facebook-invests-in-jio/">post.</a> Zuckerberg’s social network has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/facebook-picks-up-10-stake-in-jio-platform-for-rs-43574-cr/articleshow/75283937.cms">bought a 9.9% stake</a> in Reliance’s telecom venture for $5.7 billion. However, the second richest man in India — Mukesh Ambani — also owns the country’s biggest retail chain, Reliance Retail. It will now be a force of power to ensure that WhatsApp Pay has a chance of success in the Indian market despite being such a late entrant. “PayTM, PhonePe and other players will be impacted. They don’t have as much e-commerce as these guys will have. That will make a big difference,” Vikram Sud, an independent director at DBS told Business Insider. Retaining employment at brick-and-mortar stores rather than wipe it out “This is an amazing partnership on the payments side. Whatsapp Pay did not have the commercial sides of it as Whatsapp was trying to creep into the business. Now, between Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook — all the commerce can be done through Whatsapp Pay,” said Sud. Jio’s plan to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/mukesh-ambani-owned-reliance-retail-revenue-estimate-from-kirana-stores/articleshow/71643159.cms">pull all kirana stores</a> and combine it with this payment mechanism will be a massive competition to Amazon and all other e-commerce players. You will get delivery from local stores while also helping them retain their employment unlike the advent of Amazon and Walmart, who have been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/if-were-living-through-a-retail-apocalypse-why-are-e-commerce-leaders-like-amazon-alibaba-and-jd-com-so-focused-on-building-brick-and-mortar-stores/articleshow/70849067.cms">chipping away</a> at the brick-and-mortar business. “By bringing together JioMart, Jio’s small business initiative, with the power of WhatsApp, we can enable people to connect with businesses, shop and ultimately purchase products in a seamless mobile experience,” said Facebook. And that’s the play that global IT giant is primarily aiming for, according to a senior industry analyst. They weren’t able to monetise it but that doesn’t change the fact that they're sitting on a huge pile of data. This is something they will now be able to leverage and monetise by using Jio Mart's reach. It’s a win-win situation for Ambani and Zuckerberg “In my mind, Whatsapp Pay and Jio money will all hopefully get rolled into one. It will just make it quicker since there is nobody in India that doesn't have WhatsApp,” said Sud. WhatsApp has been testing its payments platform in India since 2018. It was only available to a million users under a partnership with ICICI Bank. However, the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/whatsapp-spyware-hack-raises-security-concerns-around-its-upcoming-payments-service/articleshow/71888781.cms">concern for policymakers</a> was whether not it will be responsible to allow a social messaging app — known for being a vehicle of fake news or what’s more commonly called the ‘WhatsApp University’ — to also integrate payments into its platform. In February this year, two years after the company’s first trial, WhatsApp finally got the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/india-whatsapp-pay-global-rollout-zuckerberg/articleshow/73760554.cms">approval </a>to roll out its digital payment service in a phased manner. In the first phase, it will offer its payment services to 10 million users in the country.
