Worldcoin Testing Facial Recognition for Its World App

According to the Worldcoin official blog, Worldcoin is testing facial recognition for its World App. The new feature "is a private 1:1 face matching that ensures only those who have verified their World ID on an orb can access the World App." This feature will improve security when using the World App for "online purchases, financial transactions, and secure logins to applications." Worldcoin states that nearly 15 million people are currently using the World App digital wallet, and about 6.7 million users have officially verified their "identity" using Worldcoin's iris scanning orbs. Worldcoin distributes WLD tokens to those who undergo eye scans to prove their identity and create World IDs. Facial recognition is currently in a pilot phase.
