Vi Unveils Silent Mobile Verification for ‘Faster’ Verification on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in India

Vi and Meta have launched Silent Mobile Verification (SMV) in India as part of their new partnership, the companies announced on Thursday. Soon, Vi subscribers in the country will be able to log in to WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram by simply entering their phone number. With the SMV technology, Meta’s social media apps will send a verification signal to Vi’s cellular network seeking confirmation of authenticity. Once verified, the user will be able to log in to the social media app without entering a password or an OTP.
