The user will have to configure the TouchID or FaceID unlock feature on WhatsApp. After the configuration is done, users will have to shut down the app and restart it again. After that users can authenticate their identity in order to use WhatsApp. If the iPhone TouchID fails, users can also log in via passcode. For iPhone X, and above, the FaceID works. soas.in
When the biometric unlock security feature is enabled on WhatsApp, the preview snapshot of the app will go empty and will show nothing. In terms of privacy, the fingerprint and the face unlock data are encrypted in your iPhone. WhatsApp will not get your security data as it is managed on phone-level access and extraction of this information is not possible. Hence it could be said that the fingerprint unlock feature for WhatsApp is safe to be used. MobAsk.com
