Wed 05 Apr 2023:
The messaging service WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is developing a new “Lock chat” feature for Android beta that will enable users to lock chats and keep them hidden.
this new feature will increase user privacy by enabling users to lock their most private chats inside the chat’s contact or group information, according to WABetaInfo.
Also, if someone attempts to access the user’s phone and fails to provide the needed authentication, they will be asked to clear the chat to open it.
This feature also helps to keep media private by making sure that photos and videos sent in a locked chat are not automatically saved to the device’s gallery.
The ability to lock chats is currently under development and is expected to be released in a future update of the application, the report said.
Meanwhile, on Friday, it was disclosed that the messaging app was giving some Android beta testers access to a new text editor experience.
