The latest announcement from cryptocurrency giant Worldcoin comes as‌ startling news for users in⁤ India. ⁣Worldcoin, known for its​ groundbreaking technologies, ​has decided​ to temporarily pause the use of iris scanning as an identification method in‌ the Indian market.

Iris scanning, a ⁣highly advanced biometric technology that ​uses⁣ unique characteristics of the iris to authenticate individuals, gained popularity among Worldcoin‌ users in India ‍due to its convenience and added security. ⁣However, recent ⁣concerns over data ⁤privacy and security have prompted the company‌ to temporarily halt its ​usage.
