WHATSAPP ADDS LAYER OF BIOMETRIC SECURITY

WhatsApp users with biometric authentication on their phones will now have added security. The Facebookowned platform announced on Twitter that the new feature requiring a user’s face and fingerprints to link devices were to roll out Thursday. The messaging app currently has more than 2 billion users. Once a user tries to access their WhatsApp account on the web or desktop app, they will be required to verify their identity using the face or fingerprint unlock on their phone. They then will still have to scan a QR code with their phones.
