iPhone X replace Touch ID with Face ID, fingerprint scanning with face recognition, and this means that users have the possibility to protect applications using their face. We are not talking about any function offered by the Apple company, or by application developers, but about one offered by a very interesting and old tweak called Biosafety.
BioProtect has been around for many years, enabling the security of applications with Touch ID for those who jailbreak, and now it has been updated to be compatible with the iPhone X. In the video clip below you have a demonstration of how BioProtect can be used to secure any iPhone and iPad application, users' faces being used to gain access.
The Apple company does not even allow setting an access code to protect applications against unwanted access, but BioProtect solves the problem, in an elegant way. The tweak is compatible with iOS 11 starting today, and those who jailbreak iPhone X will have the opportunity to buy it and use it on their own phones, if they really want it.
BioProtect is sold through Cydia, which is currently not compatible with iOS 11, but in the coming days it will be, and iPhone X will have a somewhat stable jailbreak. Of course, it is limited to versions prior to iOS 11.2, so the disappointment comes now, if you didn't already know, because you can't jailbreak beyond iOS 11.2, for now.
