WhatsApp to introduce additional biometric security feature for desktop users

New Delhi, Jan 28 (UNI) Messaging mobile App WhatsApp on Thursday said it will be bringing a biometric security feature for users who want to link their account with a computer.
"In order to link WhatsApp Web or Desktop to your WhatsApp account, you will now be asked to use your face or fingerprint unlock on your phone, before scanning a QR code from the phone to link your device. This will limit the chance that a housemate or officemate (when we have those again) can link devices to your WhatsApp account without you," the Facebook-owned company said in a blogpost.
WhatsApp said it cannot access the biometric information stored in the device's operating system.
