Now WhatsApp lets you use fingerprint to unlock on Android, here’s how to set it up.
WhatsApp thats owned by Facebook now has fingerprint unlock to open the app on Android phones. That follows WhatsApp adding Touch ID and Face ID for iPhone users back in February and provides extra security for anyone who uses the app, as reported earlier Thursday by our team.
How to save your computer from virus and malware
These are the steps that you need to follow for additional authentication.
- First, open your WhatsApp settings, located in the top right corner of the app where the three vertical dots are.
- Tap account, and then privacy.
- At the bottom of the privacy setting you’ll find “fingerprint lock.” Tap that, then turn on “unlock with fingerprint.”
- It will then ask you to verify your identity by entering the fingerprint you enrolled to unlock your Android phone.
- Now select when WhatsApp will automatically lock immediately, after 1 minute, or after 30 minutes.
You’ll still be able to answer calls through WhatsApp if the app is locked.
