When you had a smartphone, WhatsApp was an open application. Your Whatsapp can be accessed by anyone who has access to your phone in order to read your private messages. Whatsapp already provides its customers with end-to-end encrypted messaging, so only those with whom they are in conversation can see the content of their messages. Still, there is still a problem. Your messages are not secure if someone uses your phone.
App lock applications are available for this purpose, but their ads are too intrusive, so you uninstall them after a while.
By introducing a Whatsapp lock within the WhatsApp application, this problem is resolved in the latest update of WhatsApp. To secure the app, Whatsapp now offers users the choice of adding either a fingerprint lock, pin lock, or face ID lock. This means that even if someone gets hold of your phone, your Whatsapp chats will be safe.
Android and iOS users can use Whatsapp’s new lock screen feature. The feature can be activated by going to the Whatsapp settings page.
When you hear about this feature, you must be ecstatic and want to try it immediately. We are going to explain step-by-step to you here how to create a password for your WhatsApp chats. You can secure your private conversations if you read this article to the end.
