WhatsApp gives fingerprint option to Android users for secure messaging

NOV 01 (WTN) - If you have a smartphone then you must have used WhatsApp in it. For your information, let us know that WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app in the whole world. WhatsApp's popularity is so high that WhatsApp has close to 400 million users in India. While there are many apps for instant messaging, the biggest reason for the popularity of WhatsApp is its great security features. There are many security features including end-to-end encryption that makes WhatsApp different and better than other instant messaging apps.

Actually, WhatsApp changes its features from time to time, so that users can always get something new. During the change in features, WhatsApp focuses most on security. Facebook-owned company WhatsApp has now launched a new feature keeping in mind the security needs of users. Regarding this new feature, WhatsApp says, "Our effort is to provide maximum security to the users and for this, we are launching a biometric unlocking feature in Android phones."

If you also want to use this new security feature in WhatsApp, then for this, you must first download the new version of WhatsApp in your smartphone or update it if it is downloaded again. After downloading or updating the new version of WhatsApp on the smartphone, you will have to go to the settings option. After going to the settings option, you have to tap on the option with accounts. In the section with accounts, you will see an option of privacy.

You will get the option of the fingerprint to unlock in this privacy section. As soon as you tap the fingerprint unlock option, unlock with fingerprint feature starts working. But for your information, let us know that this feature does not lock any special WhatsApp chat, but through this feature, you can use WhatsApp chat using the fingerprint. At the same time, despite the fingerprint lock, you can see the WhatsApp notification and can accept or reject WhatsApp calls.

Not only with the help of this feature, but users can also choose the time to lock WhatsApp themselves. Users will get three options for this feature. First of all, if the user wants then he can opt for the lock immediately. The other option is to lock in a minute. Talking about the third option, users can lock WhatsApp in thirty minutes using it.

For your information, let us know that earlier this year, WhatsApp started the unlocking feature for iPhone. This new Authentication App system works in the same way as the Unlock Security feature on Outlook (Outlook) and the Signal iOS App. But let us tell you that iPhone user gets the option of both Touch ID and Face ID to unlock WhatsApp, but Android users have to take the help of fingerprint to unlock WhatsApp.
