My question is:
If my mobile doesn’t come with fingerprint is there any apps I can download to make my mobile with fingerprint?
Thanks & Regards.
If there is no fingerprint unlocking hardware you can add a fingerprint external device via USB and use an external application. But it’s not recommended.
