More on the new feature The chat lock feature was introduced by the platform in November of last year, enabling users to secure confidential discussions with a secret code. There was a significant flaw, too, in that this feature only worked with primary devices, leaving talks on linked devices vulnerable. According to reports, WhatsApp is working on an upgrade to fix this problem and enable chat lockdown on all connected devices in addition to the primary one. The purpose of this update is to improve user privacy by maintaining the protection of closed chats on several platforms.Betas rollout The most recent WhatsApp beta version is purportedly testing this new functionality, which allows users to lock chats concurrently across various devices, according to WABetaInfo reports. By creating a secret code on their primary device and applying it to other linked devices via the updated privacy settings, users can enable this capability on many devices.
