Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

    I just corrected that, can’t I without disagreeing?

      I mean that I don’t know what part of my comment is “not true”. I welcome corrections, I just don’t see what is being corrected here.

        It doesn’t send a yes/no signal it sends the fingerprint to be compared to the stored one

          The app gets either the onAuthenticationSucceeded or onAuthenticationFailed callback. It doesn’t get the fingerprint.

          Edit: I think we are misunderstanding each other, I’m saying that apps never see the fingerprint. The OS does, depending on the device.
