WhatsApp is getting a new feature for its web version – a chat lock. This means users can secure their chats on the web interface for added privacy. According to reports from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing a dedicated tab for locked chats, similar to the mobile app. This extra layer of security is especially handy for protecting personal or sensitive conversations from unauthorized access. The feature is still in development and will be part of a future update to the web client.
If you have confidential information or just want an added level of privacy when using WhatsApp Web, this chat lock feature can be beneficial. It might work similarly to the lock feature on the mobile app, providing users with various privacy and security benefits. Additionally, WhatsApp might sync these locked chats across different platforms.
In another update, WABetaInfo also found that WhatsApp is working on a pinned events feature for its mobile app. This feature will be located under the community info section, making it convenient for users to stay updated on upcoming community activities. The new addition, spotted in the latest Android version of WhatsApp, pins upcoming events at the top of the community info screen.
