Biometrics in Mini Apps

A function named BiometricManager has been discovered in the source code of Telegram Mini Apps tools.

Presumably, this function will allow mini apps to request verification from the messenger to confirm your identity as the device owner. This will enable services to enhance the protection of your data or assets.

The @tginfo editorial team believes that mini apps will not receive any data related to biometrics. The tool will be able to process a response from the Telegram client, which has methods for biometric confirmation.
