How to set WhatsApp fingerprint lock on your Android Phone

WhatsApp fingerprint lock feature on Android

Incase you haven't heard, on WhatsApp you can now enable the Fingerprint security lock without any third-party app (like "App Lock" software). Isn't this awesome?

If you are kind of person that do give people access to your phone, now you can be more confident about it; you wouldn't be having any second doubt that the person could be reading your WhatsApp messages. Now I would say, "share your Android phone all you want, your chats can't be read!"

The fingerprint lock feature is now official on Android devices, after months since it was launched on iOS. This feature doesn't just allow you to have access your WhatsApp account with your fingerprint; you can as well decide the time frame of the lock, either 1 minute or 30 minutes.
