WhatsApp. A series of new exclusive information about a great feature and highly anticipated by a lot of people appeared during this day, and it should make a lot of people happy. More precisely, today we have new information about WhatsApp's biometric security function using fingerprint readers in Android phones, this after a similar function was launched for Face ID and Touch ID on iPhone phones.
WhatsApp. In the images below you can see the function that will be offered including on phones with the Android operating system, it will facilitate the securing of information from the application in a completely new way. Android phone users who were waiting for the possibility to use their fingerprint readers to block access to WhatsApp and conversations, will have an interface very similar to the one for the iPhone from which they will be able to control this functionality.
WhatsApp. New EXCLUSIVE Information about a GREAT Feature
WhatsApp. Just like on the iPhone, the function for Android will allow you to set the time periods, after closing the application, at which re-authentication is required to be able to read the messages from the application. Activating the function is as easy as in the WhatsApp application for iPhone, the use is just as simple and intuitive, the company implementing everything in the same way, so that users of both platforms have the opportunity to use the function in the same way.
WhatsApp. However, there is a notable difference, more precisely, for Android there does not seem to be support for facial recognition or iris scanning, and this is probably because there are no universal APIs for all phones. In the case of the iPhone, Touch ID and Face ID work based on the same APIs, so the implementation of biometric security for WhatsApp could be done extremely easily, but in the case of Android things are much more complicated, with many phones with different implementations.
WhatsApp. If in the case of the iPhone the new function has already been implemented for several weeks, for now it is not known when this function would arrive on iPhone phones.
