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.

Whatsapp has a backdoor.

Will you enable the feature for your phone?

The American monitoring spirit will finally achieved their aim, this is a threat to national security and it will also be useful in fighting terrorism, fraud , trafficking , money laundry and other crime, but not without the support of the US owned company giving intel to their security agencies , Facebook actually bought whats app from the indian owner and matched it with Facebook information few years ago to boost security in the world by spying and identifying users.

with the finger print and face ID now coming as addition, it will be easy to track anyone anywhere in the world , with just their finger print which you can run on whatsApp database, you can easily identify and listen to even their past conversations.

for instant, Nigeria government can give Nnamdi Kanu finger print to whatsApp and his past and present conversation can be obtained in 1min .

why do you think people are being stopped at Australia bother and American border? from the moment you book that flight ticket till you get on that plane, you are being monitored because its mandatory the Airlines airline submit their manifest list ( list of passenger to their security agency.
I remember in the BB era, world security agencies teamed up with RIM to obtained vital information in fighting crime, and spying also.
some countries had to ban RIM/Blackberry in their country

with Finger Print, they can easily treat visa application using whatsApp to know who you truly are, just like I can easily listening to your call when you are been reported here, your network service database record is all I need, but what app finger print will be very fantastic in the sense that if the government can team up with whatsApp, your immediate location, etc getting Shekau will be too easy except he doesnt use it.

why do you think bin laden , wasnt using phone, Al kwetti his P.A used to travel miles to make a single call and destroyed the sim card.

yet the American used the Master Satellite to track every single calls he made using the phone IMEL number, overriding his network service provider, hahahaha cheesy cheesy grin cheesy cheesy .
our leaders here are just funny, because they have no secret at all, I wont be surprise if they have back up copy of Dino, Saraki, Tinubu and Bubu phone Datas Using RDP, just like google andriod have back up of our phone in their database. the only nations US will not have it easy are nations with their own independent satellite and Giant App developers like China , whatsApp is Banned in China cheesy


even the browser you are using have something called BROWSER /APP ID " if you insult me here and run away, all I need to do is just to check active facebook on that browser ID to identify you cheesy

This is the easiest way to operate someone's phone as compared to the pattern lock or pin code. I could just fix your finger on the censor while you're asleep and gbam! Is open

Very bad move! You have no idea how precious your finger print is
Don’t try to use your finger print on any phone or any app
They should allow people to use traditional password not finger print.
your finger print doesn't leave your phone. The app would only call the phone's fingerprint api and compare the current finger print with what you have stored. If it matches, you get app access.

Xiaomi already has a powerful applock function that can be locked and unlocked via code, password or fingerprint. It is unlike the applock apps on Playstore that are not reliable, and can disappoint you at any time.
