Navarra recently tweeted that Facebook has rolled out new options to help you adjust your “Active Status” settings. To change Facebook Messenger settings, you must first open the application and press the menu button to see its options. While the Face ID can prove to be a beneficial feature for Messenger users, there’s more to look forward to! Yes, that’s right as renowned social media consultant Matt Navarra had interesting news of his own to share regarding Facebook. Moreover, it was mentioned in Wong’s tweet’s screenshot that Face ID won’t be sent to or stored by Facebook Inc. So, it’s highly possible that the Face ID will become Biometric authentication instead of Apple’s Face ID. It’s interesting to note that Wong discovered this feature while using Messenger for Android. You will be able to enable the feature either immediately after you exit Messenger or after a certain duration (1 minute, 15 minutes or 1 hour). However, you will still be able to reply to messages through notifications or respond to incoming calls without unlocking the app. In the screenshot, it is clearly mentioned that once you enable “Face ID”, you will be required to use this ID to unlock the Messenger app. Wong also attached a screenshot with her tweet, through which we can get a better idea about the feature in question.
Well, today isn’t any different either!Īccording to reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook is testing “Face ID” App lock for Messenger. However, in order to retain its top spot, the social networking service in question has to constantly work on updates and new features to keep its user-base satisfied and engaged. Over the years, it has managed to become the biggest social media platform and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. Facebook has been around for nearly 2 decades now.
