WhatsApp rolling out a new update we were eagerly waiting for

Chat lock concept. Source: WABetaInfo

WhatsApp is finally bringing us the feature which we were waiting for. Version 2.23.8.2(beta) of the app gives us the ability to lock or hide chats. This might not sound like an upgrade to the WhatsApp mod community but for us the WhatsApp users, it’s a great upgrade for the messaging app. According to WABetaInfo, it will be possible to lock your most private chats right within the chat’s contact or group info. After adding a chat to the list of your locked chats, it will be only available within this screen and, once a chat is locked, it can only be accessed using the user’s fingerprint or passcode, making it nearly impossible for anyone else to open the chat. To protect your privacy, a locked chat cannot be opened without a fingerprint or passcode. In addition, if someone tries to access your phone and fails to provide the necessary authentication, they will be prompted to clear the chat to open it.
