After a long wait, Whatsapp finally launched an additional layer of protection to protect user privacy. This new feature allows users to restrict other people's access to their Whatsapp application.
New security features that use this biometric technology can be found on Whatsapp Version 2.19.20. With this feature, users can lock this application with Face ID or Touch ID fingerprint scanning security features. It's just that the new features of Whatsappini can only be enjoyed by Iphone users.
This new Whatsapp security feature can be activated by selecting the Privacy menu in the 'Account Settings' option. Activating Face ID or Touch ID to limit Whatsapp access can be done by selecting 'Settings', 'Account', 'Privacy' then activating 'Screen Lock'.
Apart from these new security features, there are some updates that are also expected by Whatsapp users. These updates include more sticker options and inclusion of keyboards from third parties.
Whatsapp has now grown as the most popular messaging application in the world since it was launched in 2009. Currently, there are around 1.5 billion active Whatsapp users in the world. Large mergers with other messaging applications owned by Facebook can make this number grow even bigger.
"There is a lot that we need to take into account," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said regarding Instagram and Facebook Messenger's integration of Whatsapp, as reported by the Independent.
