WhatsApp is also bringing the fingerprint unlock feature for Android
WhatsApp is now preparing to give biometric authentication
features to Android users. Its beta build has come and screenshots have also
been revealed.
Instant messaging app WhatsApp is now preparing to bring
fingerprint authentication features for Android smartphone users. Earlier, the
company has released this feature for iOS users.
According to a WABetainfo report, WhatsApp has given the
feature of fingerprint authentication in beta version 2.19.83. After this
update, users will be able to unlock their Whatsapp with a fingerprint scanner.
Although most Android smartphones still feature an app locking feature that can
be unlocked with fingerprint scanners and people also use it for Whatsapp.
The new features of Whatsapp, which can be downloaded in
Android, can be enabled by going to the Users Privacy tab. Here's where the
options will look like iOS, that is, you can set how much time you will not
need fingerprint after unlocking. It has a minute, 10 minutes and 30 minutes
time.
Not only the Touch ID, but also the option to have Face
Unlock in the features of Whatsapp with given biometric authentication for iOS.
But it is not clear whether the Android Smartphone will be able to unlock the
Whatsapp app through Face. Because now most Android smartphones have Face
Unlock feature. However, this feature is not secure for the iPhone level.
Talk about another report related to WhatsApp, the company
has started giving dark mode for Android. This is just as a test, but only in
dark mode is given in settings. Hopefully this public beta will be released
soon, and then you can also use the dark mode of Whatsapp.
WhatsApp have been quite popular among the people since its launch. Initially it was used by youngsters. Later its wide spread popularity made it accessible to people belonging to all age group. Considering the requirements of people WhatsApp have updated its features on a regular basis. It still continues to give new updates. When closely observing currently available WhatsApp version, we can see that many things have changed. I find that the newly given features are very attractive and user friendly.
