WhatsApp. If you use messaging application on Android phones, then you must know that something great is being prepared for you, it is very important appearing today in connection with the Facebook platform. This week it was launched for iOS and iPhone, the function that allows the use of Face ID and Touch ID to secure the application even when the phones are unlocked, and WhatsApp will have something similar for Android.
WhatsApp. I saw a few months ago that a function of this kind was being prepared for implementation in phones with the Android operating system, but then everything was only limited to rumors regarding the offer of the function. Until now, there have been no clear images showing how the function will be implemented for Android phones, but WhatsApp is still working on this change, and will offer it to all those who are interested in using it daily.
WhatsApp will allow biometric blocking of the application in Android as well
WhatsApp. Because in iOS and iPhone, it was easier to universally implement support for biometric blocking using Touch ID and Face ID, the American company offered this functionality faster. In the case of Android, things are more complicated, with multiple existing phone models, so WhatsApp still has a lot of work to do to prepare functionality in a version that will be really useful for all those who are interested in using it.
WhatsApp for Android will get the Authentication feature as well.

WhatsApp. Blocking the application in Android could also be possible using facial recognition on phones that have such functionality implemented, but everything depends on the ease with which this system can be offered. Considering the weight with which this feature is being developed for Android phones, I wouldn't expect WhatsApp to offer it to users earlier than 2-3 months, so don't get your hopes up, because you still have enough to wait.
WhatsApp. Apart from this function, the company owned by Facebook is also preparing other important functions for users, including the implementation of advertisements in the section Status.
