With the help of app lock, private messages will be provided better security, like if someone asks you for your phone for some time, then using the app lock you can be sure that no one can read your chat etc. is. Jay Sullivan, director of Messenger Privacy and Safety, Product Management, says Privacy will play an important role in Messenger, whether it is a message or video chat, a call or a messenger room. In the new section of privacy settings, there is an app lock under which privacy settings such as fingerprint or face authentication will be required to unlock the Messenger app.
Now this facility for iPhone and iPad
Facebook on Wednesday informed that this feature is currently available for iPhone and iPad, and it will also be made available for Android in the next few months. Facebook said it would also work on some new controls such as Messenger users to be able to decide who can directly call or message them, who will go to their request folder and who will not be able to call or message them at all. This will be similar to message control on Instagram.
