The most popular chatting app just got more secure! WhatsApp Chat Lock feature has been added for extra privacy in-app.
As shown in the video below, one of the main use cases for Chat Lock is people who share their phone with others, like family members, which is fairly common in some regions. In developing markets like India, for example, lower-middle class families often only have one device that’s shared by the family, with parents and siblings splitting time.
In the words of WhatsApp –
“Locking a chat takes that thread out of the inbox and puts it behind its own folder that can only be accessed with your device password or biometric, like a fingerprint. It also automatically hides the contents of that chat in notifications, too.”
Even for non-sharing families, WhatsApp Chat Lock could have a range of benefits.
Not a very big innovation, but could definitely prove quite useful for those who share a device.
WhatsApp Chat Lock is available in the latest version of WhatsApp.
