WhatsApp’s Web Client to Introduce Chat Lock Feature in the Near Future
WhatsApp has had a Chat Lock feature for quite some time. It’s sure to bring much-needed peace of mind to many, knowing that their sensitive conversations are safely locked away in case someone tries to snoop around while using the phone. However, this feature has one glaring flaw: it doesn’t work in the web client, and locked conversations are displayed as such without protection. This can be a problem for those who rely on the web client to get their work done.
Fortunately, there is some promising news for WhatsApp users who are facing this issue as the platform is reportedly in the process of integrating a chat lock feature into its web client. This development is a welcome relief for those who rely on the web client to manage their WhatsApp messages. However, it’s worth noting that the feature is currently in early development, as revealed by WaBetaInfo, a source of WhatsApp-centric updates.
The publication adds that a special tab dedicated to locked conversations is still under development. It remains to be seen how it is accessed and whether or not it includes a secret code to hide the tab.
When will it be implemented?
It’s currently unclear when this feature might be rolled out, as it hasn’t even reached beta yet. Therefore, it may take some time before it is ready to deploy in the web client and eventually on your devices.
When this feature finally launches, it means that all iOS, Android and web platforms will have this functionality, providing a secure and synchronized experience for WhatsApp users.
