WhatsApp has stated that the ‘Chat Lock’ feature is being rolled out to users starting from May 15th, enabling users to keep their favorite chats private or hidden. Under this feature, a new window for chat lock will be created, similar to the archive feature, and no third party will be able to open this chat window.
According to the blog post, users will be able to include certain chats in the ‘Chat Lock’ feature and also keep the ‘Chat Lock’ window secure with a separate password. Usually, some users’ mobile phones are accessible to their family members or very close friends, which grants them access to all their chats. However, with the new ‘Chat Lock’ feature, the concerns of such users will be resolved, and they will be able to keep their highly personal chats private or hidden.
Although the mentioned feature has been introduced immediately, not all users have instant access, and access will be gradually provided to users worldwide. It is possible that Pakistani users will also have access to the mentioned ‘Chat Lock’ feature within the next week. The ‘Chat Lock’ feature is being considered as Facebook’s best security chat feature introduced so far.
