Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp is known for being home to several new features every now and then. Taking this forward, the app is soon to receive a new update which will lead to new features.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp for Android is testing version 2.19.3 and is likely to add a new authentication feature to open up the app using the fingerprint.
The new feature will reside in the Privacy section and will require users to authenticate prior to using the app either from the app icon, notifications or external pickers.

To clarify, the feature will protect the entire app and not individual chats.
In case the app is unable to recognize the fingerprint of the registered user, it will require the device credentials to open up the app.
The Authentication feature is currently in the initial stage and will eventually launch with final improvements and changes.
Furthermore, WhatsApp could get a standalone section for audio files, dubbed the Audio Picker which will allow for easy files sharing with other users. The users will be able to hear the audio before sending it and send more audio files at once.

Additionally, the upcoming WhatsApp update will add general improvements and bug fixes.
Since the update is not live, we expect the aforementioned features to be available in the near future. We keep you updated once the features go live. Therefore, stay tuned

If you’re sick of giant ads taking up space on your tiny phone’s screen, you’re not alone. I’ve figured out quite a number of ways to banish them from your phone. Ads  can make browsing annoying on some sites, especially on a such a little screen (and they can make some apps very difficult to use). The method you will be able to use depends largely on whether your android device is rooted or not, so I've rounded up the two best methods for blocking ads on your phone.  1. Adaway app [rooted phones]       By far the best ad blocking solution is AdAway, which will block ads from most known sources, both in your browser of choice and in the apps you use. Just download it, start it up, and hit the “Download files and apply ad blocking” button. It’ll download a few host files and merge them into your phone’s, blocking those apps from ever reaching your device. You may need to reboot after you do this. You can also disable ad blocking at any time, but again, you’ll have to reboot w
