How to lock individual and Group Conversations in whatsapp with chat lock
Millions of users rely on WhatsApp as a means of privately and securely communicating with others, which is why the company’s developers are continually seeking new ways to improve the encrypted messaging service with these core principles in mind.
WhatsApp’s latest privacy feature is Chat Lock, which lets you protect your most intimate conversations behind one more layer of security. When you lock a conversation, it is automatically separated from the regular chat list and hidden in a locked folder that requires your passcode, fingerprint, or Face ID authentication to open.
What’s more, notification previews for any locked chats don’t show sender or message content, and any media shared in locked chats are not auto-saved to your phone’s photo library, altogether keeping the conversations more private.
The feature should prove handy if you occasionally share your phone with a family member, or in cases when someone else is looking at your phone’s screen at the exact moment an extra-sensitive chat arrives. The following steps show you how to lock a WhatsApp conversation.
