3. After tapping on ‘Settings,’ you will see a list of options. Scroll down and tap on ‘Account.’ It is usually the fourth option from the top.
4. In the ‘Account’ section, you will find various settings related to your WhatsApp account. Look for and tap on the ‘Two-Step Verification’ option. It is usually located towards the bottom of the list.
5. Upon tapping on ‘Two-Step Verification,’ you will be directed to a new screen where you can manage your passcode settings. Tap on the ‘Change PIN’ option to proceed.
