WhatsApp has recently rolled out a highly anticipated security feature for WhatsApp Web – Web Lock! This feature adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring that your conversations remain secure even if someone tries to access your computer while you’re away.

Here’s how you can set it up and use it:

How to Enable WhatsApp Web Lock

Step 1: Update WhatsApp App Before using the new Web Lock feature, ensure your WhatsApp mobile app is up-to-date. Go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and update to the latest version.

Step 2: Open WhatsApp Web

1. On your computer, go to web.whatsapp.com.
2. Open WhatsApp on your phone.
3. Tap the three dots (menu) in the top-right corner and select Linked Devices.
4. Select Link a Device and scan the QR code on the web page using your phone’s camera.

Step 3: Enable Web Lock

1. After successfully linking your device, go back to the WhatsApp app on your phone.
2. In the Linked Devices section, you’ll see a new option called Web Lock.
3. Tap on Web Lock and enable it. This will activate the lock feature on WhatsApp Web.

Step 4: Set Your Lock Preferences

1. Once enabled, you will be asked to set a lock preference (Fingerprint or Face ID, depending on your phone's capabilities).
2. Choose your preferred security option, and that’s it! Your WhatsApp Web is now locked and secure.

How Web Lock Works

• Automatic Lock: If you close your browser or leave WhatsApp Web idle for a period of time, Web Lock will automatically engage to prevent unauthorized access.
• Unlocking: The next time you want to access WhatsApp Web, you’ll be asked to authenticate with your fingerprint or Face ID (based on your earlier preference) on your phone to unlock the session.

Why Use Web Lock?

1. Enhanced Security: Web Lock adds a critical layer of security, preventing others from accessing your WhatsApp Web session.
2. Privacy Protection: With Web Lock, your messages, photos, and contacts stay private, even if your computer is unattended.
3. Convenience: You can securely lock WhatsApp Web with just a few taps, and it will automatically unlock on your phone without needing a password each time.

Tip: If you don’t want to use Web Lock, you can always disable it from the Linked Devices section in your WhatsApp app.
