announced that it will test facial recognition technology on users of its World app.

According to the statement, the new feature is a “personal 1:1 face comparison” that will ensure that only “people who have verified their World ID on the bead” can access the World app. The move is designed to enhance security for people who use the app for tools such as “online purchases, financial transactions, (and) secure login applications.”
