Iris Scanning and Facial Recognition Coming to Android via BioLock?
Worried all your precious data on your Android phone might fall in to the wrong hands? Well, an app called Biolock is due out by the end of August and it might help you secure your data from evil-doers.
The app can protect your phone by replacing the unlock screen with three different methods of protection (use one or all if you feel like it); a PIN code, iris scan, or facial recognition. The last two using either a front or rear facing camera to decide if you are who you say you are. It also has the ability to protect individual apps, contacts, or data (in case you forget to lock your phone).
Now, the app is due out by the end of this month but a private beta is launching a bit sooner. We’ll wait and see how the reviews go before we invest the $2.99 for this app (how fast can it scan, is it reliable, etc.?)
But maybe you can rest a little easier now, knowing this kind of security tech is coming to Android phones. Only thing now is to protect your eye balls….
I would pay for it.
