As we all know that Whatsapp is one of the most popular instant chat messenger around the globe and they have not relented in making their application better by launching huge update to its billions of users. It seems Android users will soon get an important security update soon.
According to WABetaInfo, the company is said to be working on a new authentication feature which isn’t available yet as the feature is currently under development.
Once you enabled the Fingerprint feature, the app will be completely protected, so the user will need to authenticate his identity in order to open WhatsApp (from the app icon, from the notification or from external pickers). It will protect the entire app, meaning you can’t use it to lock specific conversations.
WhatsApp is working in order to add this feature and is said to add new improvement in the next update. The company is also rumored to be working on implementing Face ID and Touch ID for iOS. There will be a section in the app where users can enable the fingerprint authentication feature.
