Whatsapp is bringing a new secret code feature for locked chat. Earlier this year, the company introduced the chat lock feature, which has now expanded and users can hide their lock chat behind a secret code. That is, if you are giving your phone to a friend or if your phone falls in someone’s hand, then no one will be able to read your personal chat. You can also protect your chat by scanning your phone’s pin or passcode or by scanning from your face or fingerprint. Let’s know about this feature of WhatsApp.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg rolled out the new secret code for the chat lock feature on Thursday, allowing users to lock a chat of a password or fraz. The chat hidden behind the secret code will not be seen in the main chat list and only after entering the secret code, its access can be found, which will add a layer of security to the messaging platform.

After opening the list of locked chat and tapping on the three-dot menu at the top> Chat Lock Settings> To hide the lock chat and enter a secret code that can be easily remembered. Now your locked chat will not be seen in the main chat window. Currently swiping down on the chat screen, WhatsApp will show a shortcut for a chatted chat, users can access them using their fingerprint or face ID.

After setting a secret code, there is only one way to see or show your lock on WhatsApp, you have to enter the same secret code in the search bar on the app. This will show protected chat by chat lock feature, but only when they do not leave the app and go out.
