Whatsapp Chat Lock Feature: Meta-owned WhatsApp has rolled out a new 'Chat Lock' Feature to enhance the privacy of users by securing chats. To make things more private, this feature includes a Secret Code that users can assign to the Chat Lock folder and access simply by searching for the code within the app.
When the Chat Lock feature is enabled, the locked chats are organized in a dedicated chat folder.
How Does Secret Code Work?
With the Secret Code feature, users can set a unique password to secure their locked chats, enhancing privacy and control. This feature not only enables custom passwords but also allows users to rename locked chats, concealing them from the app’s main view. This extra layer of security makes it challenging for others to locate these conversations. (Also Read: How To Identify Fake Vs Real Images Shared On WhatsApp? New Feature Rolling Out)
