Today, the vast majority of mobile phones incorporate a fingerprint sensor. There are even more and more models that integrate this biometric reader on their screen, such as the Huawei P40 Pro. The best of all? That, although its main functionality consists of unlocking the screen and making secure payments, you can get much more out of it than you imagine.
Yes, on Google Play there are a good number of applications that will allow you to make the most of the possibilities offered by the fingerprint sensor of your mobile phone. Let's see which ones are the best.
Does any fingerprint sensor work?
The answer is yes, but in a limited way. More than anything because, some of the functionalities offered by these applications can be used more in a terminal that has a physical fingerprint sensor. Do you have it integrated into the screen of your terminal? Don't worry, you can still get much more out of it.
Fingerprint Gestures: the best app for your fingerprint sensor
One of the apps that should not be missing on your phone is Fingerprint Gestures. Available on Google Play, this development will allow you to configure different gestures with which to squeeze even more the fingerprint sensor of your phone. For example, if you hold down the sensor, the application or game you select will open, you can slide to lower the notification bar or even activate the camera. What more can you ask!
Lock: AppLock, to avoid prying eyes
The second application that we are going to recommend is AppLock. We are talking about a tool that is responsible for blocking any application installed on your phone. What if, you must use the fingerprint sensor to unlock it. A very simple way to give your phone extra privacy, and that works much better than you imagine. Undoubtedly, one of the best apps with which to get more out of the biometric reader of your terminal.
Fingerprint gestures is not very up to date, since February 2018.
