Face ID and touch ID

If you are proud iPhone owner, now you can lock your WhatsApp by using its biometric security system. If you have the latest iPhone X or iPhone X-R, you can have the Face ID option to protect your WhatsApp data. The Later iPhone could use Touch ID option to lock and unlock the WhatsApp application.

Is Face ID or touch ID faster? iPhone faced ID works faster than touch ID. But sometimes, Face ID can not Recognize your identity. In that time, you will have to use touch ID. It rarely happens to iPhone users. If you concern about your security, we highly recommend using touch ID.

These options would not secure by the chat basics. It locks your application so that no one could check your chats. When we give our phone to someone, the biggest fear is that they could go through our chat list.

Now you don’t have to worry about it. With this latest update from the iOS developers, your chats are safe from outsiders.

Be aware!

Even though this locks your WhatsApp application, still there are other methods your messages can be seen. You have to control your notification settings. If you had “message preview” setting enabled, still you can view the message and reply to them.

You no need to unlock the WhatsApp apk. Also, you and anyone who is using the phone could answer WhatsApp Calls. So it recommended disabling “message preview” if you are going to use these biometric options.
