Whatsapp Planning To Add Fingerprint Security To Prevent Unwarranted Access by NaijaTechGuy(m): 10:46pm On Jan 11, 2019 |
Fingerprint security is finally coming to Whatsapp which means – no more snooping around on other people’s chats when the app isn’t open. WhatsApp has been working round the clock to ensure you get the best out of it this year and while we expect to see lots of update in the future including the ads, the fingerprint security is almost here . Whatsapp To Add Fingerprint Security According to the WhatsApp beta update for Android, the company is said to be working on a new authentication feature which isn’t available globally yet as the feature is currently under development. Once the Fingerprint feature is enabled , the app will be completely protected, so the you will need to authenticate your identity in order to open WhatsApp (from the app icon, from the notification or from external pickers). It will protect the entire app, meaning you can’t use it to lock specific conversations for now.The company is also rumored to be working on implementing Face ID and Touch ID for iOS. There will be a section in the app where users can enable the fingerprint authentication feature. Availability This feature is in an alpha stage of development and it will be available in a few weeks for Android users Marshmallow and above, and iOS users. WhatsApp Audio Picker WhatsApp is also working to improve the audio picker that will allow users to see the list of all available audio files stored in your phone. The user will be able to play the audio before sending it, and it is also possible to select more audio files to send! https://www.naijatechguy.com/2019/01/whatsapp-to-add-fingerprint-security.html 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Movic1: I have every good reason to stick with the Normal WhatsApp and I would advice you do the same too. Modded apps are fun till you realize they have a backdoor. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

It seems the GBwhatsapp is giving WhatsApp headache |

asuustrike1: How would a modded version of an app give whatsapp headache since they aren't earning money from the App directly yet. Once ads come to whatsapp its very possible these modded versions would try to block the ads and whatsapp would have no choice than to end up banning those using them. 4 Likes |

asuustrike1: The mod is a stripped down version of whatsapp then updated with new features. Do you trust that the developers of the modded version didn't add a backdoor to track messages. The last time I checked modified apps aren't open source so we can't exactly say what goes on behind the scenes. 19 Likes |

asuustrike1: It's easy all Whatsapp has to do is check the number of users on their server using an app id that isn't theirs and hit the ban button. You all probably don't have any alternative anyway 4 Likes |
