If you use WhatsApp for personal chat, then this information may be useful for you. A new feature is going to be available on WhatsApp to keep personal chats more private and secure than before. Now you can keep locked chats on WhatsApp secure with a secret code.
Actually, according to the latest report by Wabetainfo, this feature has been introduced for beta users of WhatsApp. A screenshot regarding this feature has also surfaced.
It is known that the option of locked chat is available on WhatsApp. However, these chats on the platform are not completely secure yet. To open these chats, only the PIN of the phone is used.
That means, once the user's phone is unlocked with the password and PIN, his WhatsApp personal chat can also be easily accessed.
For locked chats with a secret code, a secret code separate from the phone's PIN can be saved. This secret code can be used only to open these chats. This feature of setting secret code will be visible to the user in the chat lock setting.
If the user wants, he can also keep this setting off. Apart from this, locked chats can also be kept hidden separately from the normal chats of WhatsApp. These chats can be opened by entering the secret code in the search bar of the chat tab.
To use the new feature, the user will need to install the updated version of the app (WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.21.9 update). Users can update the app from the Play Store.
