You'll soon be able to password-protect chats on WhatsApp.

 

WhatsApp is introducing more privacy features to the app to let you safeguard your chats after launching privacy features for group chats and audio messages. The beta version of WhatsApp for Android (2.23.8.2) now includes a feature that allows users to lock conversations using biometric or password verification.The software will shortly allow you to lock your chats using fingerprint authentication. Despite the fact that it cannot be seen in the screenshot, WABetaInfo claims that the programme will allow you to set up a password as well. We believe that the passcode will serve as a backup for unlocking with a fingerprint.

You only need to authenticate once because it appears from the shared screenshots that all locked chats will be moved to a vault that is independent from your normal chats. WhatsApp's response to users who attempt to force access a chat after forgetting their passcode is currently unknown.The number of chats that can be closed at once, how the media shared in these conversations will be handled, and how notifications from locked chats will show are all still unknown.

Remember that the feature is still in beta and has not yet been made accessible to all users.
