HOW TO ACTIVATE WHATSAPP FINGERPRINT LOCK FEATURE ON ANDROID

FINGERPRINT LOCK FOR  ANDROID USERS OF WHATSAPP





WhatsApphas announced that its app can now be locked with a fingerprint on Android. This development comes after WhatsApp added an extra layer of privacy (Touch ID and Face ID) for iPhone users earlier this year. Turning the feature on means you’ll need to use your fingerprint to unlock the app even after unlocking your phone. It’s a similar kind of authentication method you will find in your bank’s mobile app.

To enable this feature:

Go to Settings on your Whatsapp
Select Account
Select Privacy
Choose fingerprint lock
 Turn on Unlock with fingerprint, and confirm your fingerprint.


If you do not find this option on your WhatsApp, you probably do not have the updated version. Go straight to play store to update your WhatsApp to enjoy this feature.

The feature is available to Android devices that have fingerprint enabled on them.
