> No, in both android and ios biometric data is never given to the app for touchid/faceid.
…Controlled by Apple and Google.

FFS ! Pure FUD and you know it.
I don't know about Google, but with Apple, the data necessary to validate the fingerprint is stored on the device's secure enclave[1].
Its not readable by apps on the device, let alone Apple !
(I imagine Google devices are the same, I just said "don't know" because I don't have the first-hand knowldege).

I did not say, or mean, “access to the data”, which is why I used the word “control”. Apple designed a system that runs on their devices and are the ones steering its evolution.
Apple’s whole business model requires people placing an immense amount of trust in them.
But sure maybe they’ll burn down their trillion dollar company so that they can steal peoples biometric data and get into their twitters.
...Both of whom manufacture hardware/phones where the local processing of biometric data takes place.
Even phones that don't offer biometric devices officially need to be trusted not to have hidden fingerprint sensors or iris scanners or whatnot.
