Hello Fam !

This is the latest update from the Meta-Whatsapp group .

WhatsApp could soon make the process of logging in to your account as easy as scanning your fingerprint on your smartphone.

Yes . You heard that right . 

Whatsapp has begun rolling out support for a new feature that will allow you to log in to your account using the biometric authentication mechanism on your smartphone. The messaging service will soon allow you to create a passkey — a kind of login credential that eliminates the need to use or remember a password — on your device and use it to securely log in to apps and services using the facial recognition or fingerprint scanner on your device.

This feature was tracked by Feature tracker WABetaInfo about  the new passkey feature on Whatsapp beta for Android 2.23.20.4 on Tuesday, that is rolling out to beta users. However, not all users who have updated to the latest beta release will have access to the feature, which is reportedly rolling out to a "limited number of beta testers". 

The new passkey feature is described as a "simple way to sign in safely" to WhatsApp in a screenshot shared by the feature tracker. This suggests that it could be used to help sign in to other devices via secure authentication on your primary device.
