WhatsApp has introduced the new feature “Lock Chat,” which allows the user to lock individual chats
The personal chat can be locked with the device’s password or biometrics like fingerprint or face recognition
However, this feature is not available for all users
It seems like it takes time to reach everyone
With this feature, users can hand over their phones to anyone without fear
The feature also automatically hides the text of the chat in the notification
Locking a personal chat takes that thread out of your inbox and puts it behind its own folder that can only be accessed with your device’s password or biometric, like a fingerprint
It also automatically hides the contents of that chat in notifications, too,” says WhatsApp
