Security has always been one of the pillars of WhatsApp. This Meta service wants to protect information, both when it travels on the Internet and in physical form on smartphones. Now, to provide more security, WhatsApp is testing new forms of authentication.
There are many ways to ensure the security of users of web services and the apps that access them. They all need to be addressed and guaranteed, whether virtually or physically.
WhatsApp has sought to offer users every possible way to protect themselves. Proof of this is the possibility of using your fingerprint to lock this app or to protect your most private conversations.
Now this Meta service takes another step forward on Android and brings other forms of authentication. It's not just the fingerprint anymore, we can also use a PIN or face recognition.
Although it does not allow you to choose which form of authentication, users will not have any problems. WhatsApp will look at Android and use what is defined and in use on the system.
In addition to allowing this option, WhatsApp also allows you to set the blocking time. The user can choose for this to be immediate, but after 1 minute or after 30.
This new feature is still only being tested by a limited group of users, but it promises to soon be accessible to everyone. Users are grateful and this new security measure will certainly be welcomed.
