WhatsApp New Feature: Instant messaging app WhatsApp is quite popular among people all over the world. People use it to talk to their friends and relatives. The company also keeps bringing new updates for its users from time to time, which are very useful for them. Now news is coming that WhatsApp is working on a new privacy feature for linked devices. According to the report of WABetaInfo, this popular messaging app is bringing a locked chat feature for linked devices. Let us tell you about it in detail.

Why was this feature introduced?

It has been said in the report that this feature is currently available to only a few Android beta testers and it can be used in app version number 2.24.11.9. This feature is designed to provide users with an additional layer of security for their chats to ensure that their important chats remain safe even on their linked devices.

What is the Chat Lock feature for linked devices?

Some testers can now protect their chats on their linked devices. To do this, users will have to create a secret code to open the locked chat folder on their linked devices. This secret code is set in the primary phone by going to the secret code screen inside the locked chat list.

Once set up, protected chats will disappear from the regular chat list on linked devices and will only be viewable through the locked chat screen. Plus, the secret code is synchronized across all linked devices, ensuring consistent access to secure chats with the same passcode.

The report further states that "WhatsApp has reduced the risk of chats being accidentally viewed by allowing WhatsApp users to separate their protected chats from their chat list. Additionally, locked chats by setting a secret code can be viewed by all." With the introduction of locked chat support for linked devices, users can rest assured that their sensitive chats will always remain hidden across all their mobile devices."
