Facebook Messenger gets WhatsApp’s app lock security feature

Last week, Facebook announced to bring a security feature for the Messenger app for iPhones soon and keeping true to its words, the company has released the new mobile app update with user-privacy security.

Now, Facebook Messenger users can lock their application by activating Face ID or fingerprint sensor on Apple iPhones.

“App Lock lets you add another layer of security to your private messages and helps prevent other people from accessing them. This optional feature gives you the confidence to know that if a friend or a family member needs to borrow your phone, they won’t be able to access your chats,” the company.
