The most used messaging application (that does not mean that it is the best) gets the batteries in terms of security. In short, it will be required that in order to synchronize the mobile version with the desktop version or with the Web version, the use of Face ID or Touch ID, depending on the model of iPhone you have. Added security before you can use the messaging app on your Mac.
WhatsApp seems to be becoming a little more interested in the safety of its users. At last. It will be that he is seeing the ears of the wolf. I don't know if you use Telegram. but who do i use it forare you noticing how many people are joining lately?. From now on, there is a change in the application if you want to use it through the Mac. Before it was enough to read a QR code that was displayed on the computer from the mobile. Now a previous step has been included. Face ID or Touch ID will be required so they can be linked.
This security measure is especially useful as it prevents anyone with access to your phone from easily syncing their account with their computer or browser. According to the update specifications, the application does not have access to your biometric information, such as fingerprint or facial data.

I don't really know in what sense it says it, but I don't think it's in the field of privacy, precisely.
