WhatsApp is constantly working on new features to improve the security and privacy of its users. In the past few months, the company has introduced several features related to security and privacy.
In line with this, the company is now preparing to bring a feature called Secret Code to make locked chats more secure. The company is going to bring this feature for WhatsApp Web, so that the security and privacy of chats can be improved.
WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp updates, has given information about this new feature of WhatsApp. WABetaInfo has also shared a screenshot of this upcoming feature.
WhatsApp already working on chat lock feature
About two weeks ago, WABetaInfo reported that WhatsApp is going to bring the chat lock feature for its web clients. This feature is currently under development. Meanwhile, the discussion of the feature with secret code for locked chats has also started. This feature is very important for the web version of WhatsApp.
In the shared screenshot, you can see that WhatsApp is asking for a secret code to open the list of locked chats.
Secret code will be required for mobile devices as well
The same secret code that the user has set on their mobile device will be required to open locked chats on the web. This feature will strengthen the security of WhatsApp accounts on web clients.
This feature will be very useful for users whose laptops or PCs are accessed by someone other than them. Users can lock their private chats with the help of locked chat and make them more secure with the help of secret code feature.
