According to a report by WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned messaging app will introduce a secret code feature to securely lock the chats on the Web client. WhatsApp will promptly ask the user to enter the secret code to open the list of locked chats, which was previously configured on the mobile device. WhatsApp had begun developing locked chats earlier, and in order to protect user privacy and ensure that their sensitive conversations always remain safe and protected, the best way forward was anticipated using a PIN (code).
