WhatsApp for iOS has received a new update today that allows users to implement the Face ID or Touch ID biometric security on the app. The tool is expected to bolster WhatsApp’s security for users.
WhatsApp introduced end-to-end encryption to its platform in late 2014 a few months after it was acquired by Facebook. The security feature is designed to help keep conversations safe from third-party snoops. On iOS, the messaging app has gained an extra level of security with the addition of support for Apple’s biometrics authentication tools.
