Privacy of Your’s WhatsApp Confidential Data is on Your Fingers

WhatsApp is rolling out a security feature i.e. FingerLock feature for Android beta users.
WhatsApp was trying to update from the past few months. We are not talking about the dark mode but looking forward to the FingerLock feature.
FingerLock feature has been enabled for IOS user before more than 3 months ago, WhatsApp is finally rolling out it for android beta users.
Let’s see, how the authentication feature works
Follow the following steps that may lead to secure your privacy on your finger.
1) After updating your WhatsApp app, You can see a fingerprint lock option in the privacy setting at the bottom.
2) Click on that and enable the FingerLock feature by turning on.
3) You will catch “ Please set up the fingers to confirm your fingerprint.
4) You can see 4 option that helps you when your fingerprint sensor you want to work.
The option is A) Immediately
B) After 1 Minute
C) After 30 Minutes
5) After configuring the feature, you are ready to test it. For example, if you chose “Immediately”, WhatsApp will ask to authenticate your identity every time you open WhatsApp.
6) “Immediately” is the best option to select, if you care about your privacy, but it’s very annoying because WhatsApp will always ask your fingerprint every time you want to access the app. In my opinion, 15 minutes is a good option.. but WhatsApp has reserved it for the iOS version. Recent improvements of the feature also show a new option called Show content in notifications, so you can decide if you want to show or hide message and sender preview when the Fingerprint lock is enabled.
7) When you enable the Fingerprint Lock feature, the widget content is hidden by default.
I can say that it’s safe for your privacy to enable the Fingerprint lock feature because WhatsApp, like any other app, cannot access to your fingerprint data: the authentication process is managed by the Android system: WhatsApp uses official Android APIs, so no information is sent to WhatsApp/Facebook Server.
