Facebook testing lock feature on Messenger for iOS

Facebook is working on a new feature that will let users lock their Messenger profile on iOS. The social networking giant has said this in a report earlier this week. The platform will allow iPhone users to lock their Messenger app with Touch ID or Face ID. The feature is being tested with limited group of iOS users right now. And they will expand its availability to other people in the near future.

The biometric lock feature is already part of WhatsApp. And it’s possible, Facebook is bringing the same mechanism to Messenger as well. The report says the lock feature doesn’t work on individual chats. It works an extra layer of security for the whole app, while opening it. The lock settings will come with option to decide the timeframe after which the app should be locked. This could be either 1 min or up to 1 hour since you left using Messenger on the device.

Social messaging apps with added security offer assurance to the users. And Facebook is probably looking to just that with this feature for Messenger.
