WhatsApp announces Chat Lock feature
In 2019, WhatsApp introduced a biometric lock feature that protected unauthorised users from opening the messenger app.
Now, the company is bringing the Chat Clock feature, which forms a secondary layer of security that protects prying eyes from reading one-to-one or group chatting within WhatsApp.
This feature lets users protect their personal conversations with a password and secures them in a separate folder. There’s more. When someone messages the user and the chat lock is activated, the sender’s name and the content of the message will also be hidden, making it impossible for people who have taken another’s phone to view something else.
