Fingerprint Authentication feature showing in new updates
According to the WABetaInfo report, the Messaging app has rolled out the Whatsapp beta for Android 2.19.3 update, in which the new fingerprint authentication feature is shown for Android users. The report says that after working on Face ID and Touch ID integration for iOS, the app has started working on WhatsApp fingerprint authentication for Android users.

WhatsApp will be a new section
The report says that there will be a new section in WhatsApp, which will have the option of enabling fingerprint authentication feature. This feature will work just like iOS and will be made available in Apple’s operating system. This means that security for WhatsApp users has been increased and users should use their fingerprint every time they open the app.

At the moment, WhatsApp’s new feature is in the alpha stage of development, and it will be made available to all Android users and Android Marshmallow above it. For Android 2.19.3 update, new WhatsApp beta will come with a better audio picker, allowing users to preview it before sending audio files.
