Whatsapp has finally added another level of security to chat messages with fingerprint unlock. Its good news for the android user as iOS users are enjoying fingerprint ID & face ID unlock features from over one month. Fingerprint unlock already rolled out to the beta users last month; now it’s available for every user.
Fingerprint unlock has added quite a level of security, but Twitterati doesn’t seem to be happy with this move. They are literally begging for Dark mode which is a trending feature. But Dark Mode is not coming in the near month to WhatsApp.
