The Whatsapp application finally allows you to lock access to the application using your face
Today we start with good news for Whatsapp users, because the iOS app version now has a very useful feature for all those looking for ways to add a new security layer. In particular, the iOS app and app allows you to lock your app using Touch ID and Face ID, thus preventing anyone from accessing our private messages.
It's an interesting feature for all those who leave their mobile phones usually with friends and family to watch weekend photos or try out some of the new games they've downloaded but prefer to make sure no one gets into their chat history at Whatsapp. As mentioned, the functionality is already available in the iOS version, so we recommend that you activate it by going to Settings> Account> Privacy> Lock screen.
Through this new section we can enable the use of Touch ID or Face ID based on our iPhone phone. In addition, it is also possible to adjust the speed at which the application is locked as soon as it is closed. In particular, we can determine immediate lockout after one minute, after 15 minutes or after one hour has passed since we stopped using the application. Of course, it will still be possible to reply to messages from notifications even though the account has been locked.
At this point we can not deny it is a more interesting post. So if you're an iPhone user, you can download the latest update from the Whatsapp application from App Store and start using this new feature now. As for the Android version, everything seems to indicate that the application can receive a similar update in the coming months.
