WhatsApp has now officially introduced a new enhancement to its existing Chat Lock feature, unveiling the all-new Secret Code functionality. The company brought an extra layer of security, further fortifying sensitive conversations against unauthorized access to your phone.
What is SECRET CODE FOR CHAT in WhatsApp?
For your information, with the new WhatsApp Secret Code feature, WhatsApp users now have the capability to establish a distinct password to safeguard their chats, setting it apart from their phone’s primary unlock code.
In addition to this, users are granted the option to conceal their Locked Chats folder, ensuring it remains discreetly tucked away from the main chat list on the service. To unveil this concealed folder, users need only enter the Secret Code into the app’s search bar.
With the secret code you can now set a unique password different from the one you use to unlock your smartphone and add an additional level of privacy to your padlocked chats.
WhatsApp’s innovative Secret Code feature emerges as a timely solution. Equipping users with an added level of control over their privacy. The distinctiveness of the password, separate from the phone’s unlock code, provides a tailored approach to securing sensitive information.
While the Secret Code feature is currently making its debut, its imminent global availability signals a proactive response to the evolving landscape of digital privacy.
You can also now hide the lock chats folder from your chats list, so you can only view it by typing the secret code in the search bar.
Whenever you want to lock a new chat, you now simply need to press and hold the chat instead of going into its settings.
WhatsApp announces that the secret code will be usable from today and that it will be released worldwide over the next few months.
