WhatsApp to Roll Out Locked Chats Feature for Linked Devices

Exciting news for WhatsApp users! A recent update to the app's beta program (version 2.24.8.4 for Android) offers a glimpse into a future feature: locked chats for linked devices.

While not yet available for testing, this update suggests WhatsApp is actively developing a way to protect chats with a secret code on devices linked to your primary phone.

What to Expect with Locked Chats on Linked Devices:

• Enhanced Privacy: Create a secret code on your primary device to access locked chats on linked devices.
• Hidden Chats: Locked chats will disappear from the main chat list on linked devices, offering an extra layer of privacy.
• Synchronized Security: Access your protected conversations from any linked device without compromising confidentiality.

Addressing a Privacy Gap:

Currently, locked chats are limited to the primary device, leaving them vulnerable on linked devices.

This upcoming feature aims to bridge that gap, ensuring your most private conversations stay hidden across all connected devices.

While the latest update provides a sneak peek, there's no confirmed release date for locked chats on linked devices.

Stay tuned for further updates as this exciting feature progresses through development!
