\tFacebook turned to biometrics to add a new layer of security for its Messenger app, unveiling a feature which uses a device\u2019s fingerprint and face scanning capabilities to protect private exchanges.<\/p>\n

The App Lock tool offers users the ability to hide their messages behind a lock screen, making them accessible only through the use of touch or face ID. Facebook claimed this is accomplished without biometric data being transmitted to, or stored by, the company.<\/p>\n

In a blog, director of product management for Messenger privacy and safety Jay Sullivan said the tool gives users \u201cthe confidence to know that if a friend or family member needs to borrow your phone, they won\u2019t be able to access your chats\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added users can activate or disable App Lock through a new privacy settings menu for Messenger, which also offers control of who can view or access accounts.<\/p>\n

App Lock is initially available on iOS devices with Android compatibility due \u201cin the next few months\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sullivan said the company is developing additional privacy tools which will allow users to control who can message or call them directly. It also plans to test a feature akin to one offered on Instagram and WhatsApp which blurs images included in messages sent from unfamiliar users.<\/p>\n\n
