Google is testing a new feature for Chrome for iOS as a
security measure, with which incognito tabs can be locked behind Face ID in iOS
devices. Even though Apple has its own face recognition system for its recent
devices, some apps consider adding extra security by offering their own Face ID
support.

Google Chrome’s Face ID support for iOS is on its way too,
and is likely to roll out in the coming months. The feature is still in its
early testing stage and will be supported in the latest Chrome 89 beta on iOS. For
older devices, Google is also providing support for Touch ID.
While Chrome 89 is expected to be officially released some
time in early March, it isn’t certain whether the Face ID security feature will
be ready by then.
