Earlier this year WhatsApp rolled out Chat Lock to help people protect their more sensitive conversations. on 30 Nov 2023 they launched a secret code, an additional way to protect those chats and make them harder to find if someone has access to your phone or you share a phone with someone else.
With a secret code, you’ll now be able to set a unique password different from what you use to unlock your phone to give your locked chats an extra layer of privacy. You'll have the option to hide the Locked Chats folder from your chat list so that these can only be discovered by typing your secret code in the search bar. If that doesn’t suit your needs, you can still choose to have them appear in your chat list. Whenever there’s a new chat that you want to lock, you can now long press to lock it rather than visiting the chat’s settings.
The community has been loving Chat Lock, and the secret code makes it even more useful to them. Secret code starts rolling out, and in the coming months will be available globally. The company is excited to keep bringing more functions to Chat Lock to help people protect their privacy.
