Soon after this feature will be launched, the users will get the option to get face IA and Touch authentication through which user will be able to access the inbox. It will be the same kind of experience that we already have in WhatsApp, a Facebook-owned platform.

The best thing about this feature is that user will be able to define whether the authentication will always be required when someones want to open the app or he can choose a certain period of time that can be either 1 minute or 1 hour. This feature does not work for individual conversations, and the social media app should add such option as it will give relief to many people. By adding this new authentication feature will add an extra layer of security to private messenger chats. At present, this feature is in the testing phase, and only a small number of people have received it. However, once it passes this stage, it will be launched for everyone and is expanded to Android users in future as well. While telling about this feature, Facebook said: Right now, the company has not revealed that when this feature will land for users. So let’s wait and watch.
