WhatsApp Fingerprint Unlocking Feature Now Available For Android
A few days back, iOS users welcomed the unlock with the fingerprint. Good news guys, such feature now available to users on Android, provided to download the latest version of the beta.
The update is available for Android users who have WhatsApp beta v2.
Once the Fingerprint Authentication is turned on, the widget content will be hidden by default. But users can still answer WhatsApp calls and reply to messages from notifications since the authentication of the fingerprint is only required when the user wants to open the app and access it.
How to Access Fingerprint ID for WhatsApp on Android
There are three options available for users to authenticate their identity; visible under ‘Automatically lock and includes options like ‘Immediately’, ‘After 1 minute’ and ‘After 30 minutes’.
The Fingerprint ID authentication feature is gradually rolling out to WhatsApp beta testers on Android and will arrive shortly to all.
Kindly share your experience once you get the new feature as a beta tester.
