With this feature, users can lock chats with a secret code, ensuring the privacy of their chats even when connected to multiple devices.
To use this feature, users only need to create a secret code in the chat settings on their primary device. After that, encrypted chats will be hidden from the main chat list and can only be accessed by entering the secret code on the connected device.
Furthermore, WhatsApp has also introduced a new way to interact with status updates. Now, users can mention specific contacts in their statuses privately.
