Meta has added a new feature to WhatsApp that allows users to lock specific chats. This can be done using a password or biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint scan. Once a chat is locked, it will be stored in a separate folder and the name and message content will be hidden in notifications. To access a locked chat, users will need to enter their password or authenticate with their fingerprint.
This new feature provides an additional layer of privacy for users who want to keep certain conversations confidential. Even if someone gets access to your phone, they will not be able to read your locked chats without your permission.
Here are some additional details about the new feature:
- Users can lock individual chats or entire groups.
- Locked chats are stored in a separate folder that can only be accessed with the password or fingerprint.
- The name and message content of locked chats are hidden in notifications.
- To access a locked chat, users must enter their password or authenticate with their fingerprint.
This new feature is a welcome addition to WhatsApp and provides users with an extra layer of privacy for their most sensitive conversations.
