How To Activate Fingerprint Lock On WhatsApp To Keep Your Account Secured
YOGYAKARTA - WhatsApp instant messaging application has a number of features that can be used by its users. One of them is the "Fingerprint Lock" feature that can be used to maintain the security of user accounts.
Fingerprint Lock itself is a feature that can lock WhatsApp applications with biometric capabilities, namely sensors that can be unlocked by using the fingerprint of the WhatsApp account owner.
With this feature, users must use their fingerprints when they want to open the WhatsApp application even though the phone lock has been unlocked. Even so, you can still reply to incoming chats from notifications and answer calls without having to open Fingerprint Lock first.
Enabling Fingerprint Lock makes the user the only person who can access the WhatsApp application on your phone, and can be a guarantee for the security of user privacy.
If you are interested in enabling the feature in the WhatsApp application on your phone, the VOI team has summarized the steps you can follow below.
