In a blog post about the feature, WhatsApp has said that it will be useful for those who sometimes have to give their phone to their family members. The advantage of the feature will be when your phone is in someone else’s hand and then only your private message comes on the phone. According to WhatsApp, the chat can be locked by tapping in the name of any person or group and by choosing an option to lock the chat. However, keep in mind that your WhatsApp is running on the latest version.
