WhatsApp now lets you lock individual or group chats in a private folder.
The feature is called Chat Lock and is rolling out now to all WhatsApp users.
Meta will add more features to Chat Lock in the future.
WhatsApp has introduced a new Chat Lock feature designed to keep your conversations more private. It allows you to hide individual chats in a folder that can only be accessed with your device’s password or biometric unlocking system, like a fingerprint. Chat Lock also automatically hides the contents of your conversation in notifications.
