Shenzen-based tech giant Tencent first launched the biometrics recognition service - versions of which have been offered by companies like Amazon in the past - last May, and has worked in recent months to make it more mainstream.
Senior Tencent executive Guo Rizen told CNN in January the company has “confidence” in the adoption of the technology, which encourages users to leave their wallet and phone at home.
It can also be used to unlock the doors of their homes or workplaces, and on public transport in lieu of a transit card.
