Biometrics

Biometrics on mobile devices is a way to use your unique physical or behavioral characteristics to identify and verify that you are the owner of the device. It's like a digital fingerprint that ensures only you can access your phone or specific apps.

iOS

For all physical iOS device models that offer TouchID or FaceID input, Corellium’s virtual models allow developers to set those biometrics readings to automatically pass or fail. So if you need to test an app that uses biometric authentication, you can test both when authentication passes and when it fails.
