How to Create a Chat Lock and Secret Code on WhatsApp

WhatsApp has become a cornerstone of communication in our digital age, holding countless conversations and memories. However, recovery becomes paramount when messages vanish due to accidental deletion or device failure.

This article guides you through recovering WhatsApp messages on your iPhone, ensuring your valuable conversations are not lost forever. This user-friendly guide accommodates various technical levels, ensuring a smooth recovery process for all.

Part1. How to Lock WhatsApp Chats

WhatsApp offers a Chat Lock feature that allows you to lock individual chats and add an extra layer of security to your private conversations. This feature helps you keep your chats secure, especially when you share your phone with others or want to protect specific chats from being easily accessed.

Note

When you lock a chat, it is moved to a separate folder and can only be accessed by entering a password or using biometric authentication (such as Touch ID or Face ID). 

The contents of the locked chat are also automatically hidden in notifications, too.

To use the Chat Lock feature on WhatsApp, follow these steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your device.
  2. Go to the chat that you want to lock.
  3. Tap on the name of the one-to-one or group chat to access the chat settings.
  4. Look for the Lock Chat option and select it.
  5. Set up Touch ID or Face ID· to lock the chat.
