An important update has made its way into WhatsApp Messenger for iOS. Users are now able to restrict access to the app as a means of protecting private conversations with the help of FaceID or TouchID.
To enable the feature, tap Settings, then navigate to Account. The option to enable Screen Lock can be found under the Privacy section. If anyone does enable the feature, they should also ensure that their notification previews have been properly set to hide sensitive content from being displayed. Calls received from WhatsApp are still able to be answered without requiring biometric authentication.
