Do you want to keep your WhatsApp chats private and secure? We all know that there are certain things in our WhatsApp that we don’t want anyone to see. But what if someone else steals your phone? Don’t worry! WhatsApp has an amazing feature called Fingerprint Lock. It’s just like locking your most important diary.
Why is WhatsApp fingerprint lock necessary
You might be thinking that when the phone already has a lock, then why is there a need to put a separate lock on WhatsApp? See, this is an additional security cover. Suppose your phone is unlocked, but you do not want anyone to open your WhatsApp & read your private conversations.
