WhatsApp working on secret code feature for locked chats in upcoming update

In an effort to enhance user privacy and security, WhatsApp is actively developing a new feature that allows users to configure a secret code for locked chats.

The screenshot of the upcoming feature showcases WhatsApp's commitment to providing users with greater control over their private conversations.

Unlike the device's main password, this custom code is specifically designed for the protected chat folder. This separation of passwords isolates the privacy of locked chats, ensuring that even if someone gains access to the device's password, they won't automatically have access to the protected chats folder.

While the release date for this feature remains undisclosed, WhatsApp users can look forward to an upcoming update that will introduce the secret code functionality.
