You can find out whether this feature is available or not by opening WhatsApp chat information and scroll down to see Chat Lock option.  When you click on it, you will be prompted to lock the chat with fingerprint.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_517983\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-517983\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" class=\"wp-image-517983 size-full lazyload mod-full\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1.jpg?tr=q-100 1200w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-150x84.jpg?tr=q-100 150w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-300x169.jpg?tr=q-100 300w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-768x432.jpg?tr=q-100 768w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-1024x576.jpg?tr=q-100 1024w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-696x392.jpg?tr=q-100 696w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-1068x601.jpg?tr=q-100 1068w, https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1-747x420.jpg?tr=q-100 747w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.91-cdn.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/whatsapp-chat-lock-feature-1.jpg?tr=q-100\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-517983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">    WABetaInfo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After doing this a separate folder named &#8216;Locked Chats&#8217; will appear in the app.  Here, all your locked chats will be clubbed together and you can open it with just your fingerprint.  So even if someone has access to your WhatsApp, they will not be able to open the locked chat. <\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp already lets you lock the app with your fingerprint, so this should be enough to keep your messages secure.  But if you are someone who doesn&#8217;t want to do that but still keep some chats private then this feature can come in handy for you.<\/p>\n<p>As is the case with every WhatsApp feature in beta, we cannot assume that it will make it to the stable version.  These features are sometimes dropped or take a long time to reach all users.  But for now WhatsApp beta testers on Android can test the feature and see how it works. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started rolling out Locked Chats to some beta testers on Android and it is expected to reach more users in the coming weeks.
