According to PANews, the decentralized identity project Worldcoin announced that it has launched Orb verification (iris scanning) services in Guatemala, Poland and Malaysia, and introduced the face authentication (Face Auth) function.

Face Auth is a new feature in its World ID suite, allowing other applications to verify that the person using the ID is the same person who has been verified through the orb device at the Worldcoin center. This process only uses information from the user's phone, protecting user data privacy and preventing fraud that could occur if the device is stolen.
