WhatsApp has launched Chat Lock feature for added privacy and security.

[{ "selector": ".fkrxk-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 472px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

This feature securely hides conversations in a password-protected folder.

[{ "selector": ".lgkri-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 479px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Locked chats can only be accessed with your device password or fingerprint.

[{ "selector": ".rnpgx-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 467px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

It automatically hides their contents in notifications to maintain privacy.

[{ "selector": ".bzfkj-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

It is ideal for those who occasionally share their phones with family members.

[{ "selector": ".ugjtu-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-351px) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

To lock a chat, simply tap the name of a one-to-one or group chat and select the lock option.

[{ "selector": ".pizsp-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 21px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

To view locked chats, pull down on your inbox and enter your phone password.

[{ "selector": ".rtcrl-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-344px) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

In the future, WhatsApp will be adding options for locking companion devices.

[{ "selector": ".ajjjd-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 471px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Soon, you'll have the ability to use a unique password specifically for your chats.

[{ "selector": ".xlrpd-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 467px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
