Whatsapp New features: "Chat lock"

WhatsApp has recently rolled out a new feature called "Chat Lock". This feature allows users to lock individual chats, so that they can only be accessed by entering a password or using biometric authentication. This can be useful for protecting sensitive conversations, such as those containing financial or personal information.

To use Chat Lock, open the WhatsApp chat that you want to lock and tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Then, select "Lock chat". You will be prompted to enter a password or use biometric authentication. Once you have done this, the chat will be locked and the name of the contact will be hidden from the chat list.

To unlock a locked chat, open WhatsApp and swipe down from the top of the screen. This will open the Quick Settings menu. Tap on the "Lock chats" icon and enter your password or use biometric authentication. The locked chats will then be displayed in the chat list.

Chat Lock is a useful way to protect your privacy and keep your sensitive conversations safe. If you have any chats that you want to keep hidden, you can use this feature to do so.

Here are some additional details about WhatsApp's Chat Lock feature:

• Chat Lock is available for both Android and iOS devices.
• To use Chat Lock, you must have a password or biometric authentication enabled on your device.
• You can lock individual chats or all of your chats.
• When a chat is locked, the name of the contact and the preview of the last message will be hidden.
• To unlock a locked chat, you must enter your password or use biometric authentication.
• Chat Lock is an additional layer of security that can help to protect your privacy.
