January 28,2021 WhatsApp users with biometric authentication—including facial recognition and fingerprint features—enabled on their phones will now have an added layer of security if they want to link their accounts with their computer’s web browser or desktop app. The Facebook-owned platform announced on Twitter that the new feature will roll out Thursday. The messaging app currently has more than 2 billion users. The feature applies to users who have the facial or fingerprint authentication on, including those who have iPhones operating iOS 14 and greater with Touch ID or Face ID and Android users with Face Unlock, Fingerprint Unlock or Iris Unlock enabled.
