WhatsApp It never ceases to amaze with all the changes of the last two years. At the end of 2022, Meta began to make modifications to the groups, such as the introduction of polls and communities, while in 2023, we have seen that they have made progress on privacy issues.
The most recent change that Mark Zuckerberg has announced is the lock for the chats or the blocking of them. In this way, if someone takes your mobile, they will not be able to access certain conversations without your password or your biometric data.
Through Meta Channel, the CEO of the company shared new details regarding this tool.
This is how WhatsApp chat blocking works
“With this feature, locked chats will appear in the “Locked Chats” section and can only be opened using passcode, fingerprint, or Face ID authentication. It’s important to note that locked chats provide an extra layer of privacy by disabling the author and message preview in notifications.
For added privacy, media shared in locked chats is not automatically saved to the phone’s gallery”, details the medium WaBetainfo.
Let’s remember that all the content of the chats is encrypted, so the chat lock only works as an additional layer of security. It is a useful tool if someone outside often takes your Android or iOS mobile.
“We think this feature is great for those who occasionally need to share their phone with a family member or times when someone holds your phone at the exact moment a special chat comes your way. To block a chat, tap on the name of the person or group, and select the “Block” option. To see these chats, drag down the inbox slowly, and enter your password or biometric data ”, adds the official WhatsApp blog.
