WhatsAppis making its Chat Lock tool even more secure by introducing Secret Codes that will hide private chat rooms.
This can be helpful if you share the machine with others.
However, it doesnt stop other people who know the password from taking a peek at any time.
WhatsAppis also making it easier to lock up chats.
To start, tap the three dots in the top right corner, then select Chat Lock controls.
Activate Secret Code and come up with a password.
Do note the password you create must either be four characters long or be a single emoji.
We have a couple of examples in the image below.
bang out in the code you just made into the search bar to make the conversations reappear.
Be aware this update is for WhatsApp on mobile only as the locked chats aren’t present anywhere else.
No word if any of these features will make their way to desktop.
Secret Codes is rolling out and will be available globally in the coming months.
Keep an eye out for the patch when it arrives.
Big things are happening on WhatsApp with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
