WhatsApp has launched a new feature allowing users to block their conversations using a password, fingerprint or facial recognition. This feature, called Chat Lock, provides additional protection for those who share sensitive information.
On May 15, 2023, WhatsApp announced a new security update that allows users to block their chats with a password, fingerprint, or facial recognition. This feature, named Chat Lockwas long awaited by the community of users of the platform.
An extra layer of protection
With this new chat lock feature, WhatsApp has taken an important step in strengthening the security of its users. It helps block access to specific conversations, adding an extra layer of protection for users who share sensitive or personal information on the platform.
Once the feature is enabled, locked chats disappear from the main chat list and are moved to a special secure folder. To access these conversations, the user must unlock the folder with their password or biometric data (Face ID on iPhone, for example).
This is a significant step forward for WhatsApp. However, it is important to note that this update is only the beginning. WhatsApp said it was working on further improvements to the Lock Chats feature, including the ability for users to choose a different password than their device.
In addition to locking chats, the update also allows chat notification content to be hidden, adding another layer of privacy. This adds to an already impressive list of privacy features offered by WhatsApp, such as end-to-end encryption, encrypted backups, ephemeral messages and the ability to block screenshots for certain messages.
Despite a certain lag compared to some other platforms, WhatsApp is making a notable effort to improve the security and privacy of its users. This new feature is a step in the right direction
