The function, which Facebook is calling App Lock, becomes part of a variety of small changes pertaining to Messenger fixated personal privacy and security. The app is also adding a Privacy area to the apps settings, providing users a single place to manage features like App Lock and what users theyve obstructed. App Lock is expected to come to Android in “the next couple of months.”
Facebook now lets you add an additional layer of security when opening Messenger on an iPhone or iPad. The app itself can now be locked upon or shortly after closing, requiring you to use an authentication approach like Face ID or Touch ID to open it back up. That implies you could open your phone and let a buddy borrow it, which person still would not be able to access your Messenger chats.
Its going to begin using users more control over who can message them (the company didnt provide much detail on how this will work), and its going to start blurring pictures from people who message you without your approval so that you do not have to open a potentially troubling image just to understand and see a brand-new message if you desire to talk with somebody. Facebook didnt say when this would begin getting here in Messenger.
