WhatsApp recently launched the App Lock feature to increase the security and privacy of users. App lock provides an extra security layer to chat. Now this feature has got a new update. Under the latest update, users will be able to use different authentication methods such as fingerprint, face lock, and device passcode to lock the app.

WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a feature that will let some beta testers unlock the app with different authentication methods, WABetaInfo reports. When this option is activated, a fingerprint, face, or other unique identity is required to open WhatsApp.
The new feature will provide more security to the users than before, which will act as an important improvement in the privacy and personal data protection of the users. By providing different types of authentication options, WhatsApp not only gives more freedom to users but also strengthens the security of their accounts from fraudulent access.
Another feature that WhatsApp is working on is mentioning contacts in status updates. Users are immediately notified when it appears in a status update. The upcoming latest version will have the ability to directly include a contact in your status update.

Feature to pin multiple chats
According to Wabetainfo, WhatsApp is testing the feature of pinning multiple messages in chats. This feature is being tested on WhatsApp beta version 2.24.6.15 for Android. The update introduces a new interface designed for navigation in pinned messages. Through this new interface, users will be able to easily access and manage their pinned messages.
