WhatsApp has recently submitted a new update through the Google Play Beta Program. It is for bringing the version up to 2.20.203.3 and brings various improvements and a couple of new features.
According to a WaBetaInfo report, the company is working for a few months on a couple of new features. This includes Join Missed Calls, which would allow users to quickly join calls in a certain situation. The feature is meant to allow users to join a group missed call if the call is still active with other members. It is still under development and will be available via an update in the future.

Another new feature is the Biometric Lock, as the name suggests, this new addition will bring biometric security to the popular messaging application. In this, users would be able to use Fingerprint Lock to protect their WhatsApp. This feature will also work with face recognition systems if a fingerprint sensor is not present in one’s device. At the moment, facial and fingerprint based recognition are the only two methods that are supported.
Unfortunately, these features are still under development and it is currently unknown when they will be available for WhatsApp beta users or even the live build. A preview is available right now and WaBetaInfo shared multiple screenshots of this upcoming build as well. So stay tuned for more updates.
