iPhone or smartphone users currently use passwords, face lock, or fingerprints to unlock their devices.
However, iPhone users will soon be able to unlock their devices using their heartbeat.
According to a technology website, Apple Watch currently uses an electrocardiogram (ECG) feature to monitor users’ heartbeats.
Apple is now working on a technology that will allow Apple Watch wearers to unlock their Apple devices using a new “Heart Lock” feature.
Reports suggest that every person’s heartbeat is unique, making it possible to use this biometric data for electronic device identification.
The new Heart Lock feature includes a technique that securely unlocks devices by verifying identity based on heartbeats.
This technology uses sensors to detect the user’s cardiac activity and electrical signals, which are then used for identification and device unlocking.
It is noteworthy that Apple Watches already have an ECG sensor feature that monitors users’ heartbeats.
