Without a doubt, we have been in a few weeks WhatsApp is making all the headlines. In this case the news explains that the messaging application will soon will ask its users to authenticate through Face ID or Touch ID to carry out the linking of the account on the web or desktop applications.
Either for the simple fact of privacy it is important that this authentication is required and that is why in addition to the number itself it will be necessary to carry out this process. The new system will be enabled by default on iPhones running iOS 14 with Touch ID or Face ID.
According to reports from The Verge, this option will be the one that will predominate soon in the messaging application and in this case it is not at all negative that this option is introduced, rather it is positive. The security offered by these iPhone unlocking options are really safe. WhatsApp simply changes the authentication process to make it more difficult to access our account without permission.
Not even Apple itself has access to the biometric data that we register on our iPhone so WhatsApp will not have access either, it is simply one more security measure for those who want to use the web browser or desktop applications to send messages. According to sources close to the messaging application, this new update for iPhone devices will be launched in the coming weeks but there is no official date set for it.
