WhatsApp adds a secret code to protect your locked chats: It is also getting easier to hide your locked conversations

Key FactsWhatsApp hides locked chats behind secret codes

Chats can now be locked directly from the conversation list by long-pressing one and selecting the lock option.

Users can set a unique code for the Chat Lock folder, including an emoji, instead of using the device’s biometric or screen authentication.

Locked conversations can be hidden completely and appear only after the code is entered in WhatsApp’s search bar.

Users need the latest WhatsApp release for Android to access the changes, but the rollout may still take days or weeks for some people.
