WhatsApp is introducing a new feature “Chat Lock” to further strengthen users’ privacy. This feature allows users to gain more control by hiding chats within the app. Whatsapp’s new feature is interpreted as an update that gives importance to users’ chat privacy.
NEW CHAT PRIVACY FROM WHATSAPP
WhatsApp has been taking remarkable measures regarding user security lately. The new update announced by Meta includes the Chat Lock feature. With this update, users will have the ability to lock certain chats with password or biometric authentication.
Known for its end-to-end encryption support, WhatsApp was unable to prevent anyone with physical access from reading messages. The new Chat Lock feature aims to protect chats even when the app is open.
According to Meta’s description, when Chat Lock is enabled, chats will be stored in a password or biometric protected folder. This way, the sender’s name or message content will not be displayed in notifications from conversations.
Meta stated that Chat Lock’s privacy efforts on WhatsApp are just the beginning. The company plans to introduce several new features, including locking for different signed-in devices, in the coming months.
WhatsApp’s new update package gives users more control by empowering them to protect their personal information. This new feature will initially be available for Android and iOS platforms.
