  Two of Facebook's biggest acquisitions -- WhatsApp and Instagram -- will have the social network's name stamped right on to their names. The rebranding is apparently being done as the company reportedly wants to be clearer about the products and services that are part of Facebook. Both the apps are getting 'from Facebook' added to their names.
  Earlier this month, social networking platform Facebook said that it is going to add its name to both WhatsApp and Instagram and now it has started appearing in the latest beta version of WhatsApp. The rebranded tag appears on the Settings page on WhatsApp at the bottom in the latest beta version of the app. We spotted this in the WhatsApp version 2.19.228.
  At the time Facebook announced this move, a company spokesman told Reuters, "We want to be clearer about the products and services that are part of Facebook."
  Incidentally, the photo sharing app Instagram too has 'Instagram from Facebook' tag at the bottom of the Settings page. The same was spotted in app version 106.0.0.24.118.
  To recall, Facebook bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. Both the platforms have over a billion users worldwide.
  Recently, WhatsApp rolled out the fingerprint lock feature for the beta users of its app and is in the works to rollout the same for all its users. The feature has been made available after seven months of it being available for iPhone. Using this feature, Android users will be able to add a layer of biometric authentication in order to access their WhatsApp chats. The feature can be enabled on Android devices in the Settings section of WhatsApp. From there, they have to scroll down to the Account section and head to Privacy. There, users will find a new option called the Fingerprint lock.
  Even after enabling the fingerprint lock feature, Android users will still be able to answer WhatsApp calls and reply to messages from notification, as per WABetaInfo, the online platform that tracks the new changes on the instant messaging app, as the authentication is only required when you want to open WhatsApp. The feature gives three automatic lock configurations to Android users. This includes 'immediately', 'after 1 minute' and 'after 30 minutes'.
