In today’s world, it’s important to safeguard your personal data as much as possible. WhatsApp has an app lock feature that helps protect your chats, but it requires biometric authentication. However, the latest beta offers more authentication options.
The most recent WhatsApp beta version allows users to set a passcode to lock the app instead of just fingerprints or facial recognition. This helps people secure their accounts even if their device lacks biometric sensors.
According to reporters tracking the beta version, the app lock setting description now mentions “fingerprint, face or other unique identifiers.” Before it only worked with fingerprints or facial recognition.
The passcode option gives users flexibility in how they want to lock WhatsApp. It also helps people lock their chats if the fingerprint or facial recognition stops working on their device.
In addition to more locking options, WhatsApp recently increased the number of chats users can pin at the top from 3 to 5. These changes aim to improve account security and app usability.
Getting More Choices for Secure Chatting on WhatsApp
WhatsApp continues finding new ways to keep private conversations safeguarded through testing additional authentication selections in their app lock tool.
