Let me eiiiiiiiiin, 14 Aug 2019"you can rest assured that your fingerprint data isn't sent... moreExactly!
With so much data already in Facebook they can build a life-size 3D version of most users. With only fingerprints, a few memories, internal organs and dental map missing.

    in the context of the facebook's (or fakebook..?) "transcript" news... sorry guys... that's why I use no fingerprint and no face recognition on my devices, be them smartphone or nb. just passwords. and I replace every now and then. two seconds gain with the fingerprint wouldn't change my life. so... here it is my finger! but without the print... :)

      Already been using this with iPhone since february, really great feature especially with Face ID!

      it's like invisible lock. I propably wouldn't use this with fingerprint scanner because i open app so often so it would take lot of scans, but face ID solves that because it's working automaticly.

          "you can rest assured that your fingerprint data isn't sent to Facebook"

          They'll just need pay few pennies later if fingerprints leaked due to "bugs", they can pay years privacy scandals with a month revenue anyway.

          Press X to doubt

            I am afraid to give my finger print data to them .
            Because leak and security problem ..

                What about web version? It still unlocked on web version even if you locked it with fingerprint on phone.
