Secret Code Adding Another Privacy Layer  There is a new secret code feature that WhatsApp just released. This one adds a new layer of privacy applied to your locked conversations.  Earlier this year, WhatsApp launched locked chats. The goal of it is to assist people in hiding sensitive conversations. Recently, it added further protection to those chats. The new feature will make it harder for the conversations to be found if someone hacks your phone or access it without your permission.  Previously, your locked conversations were displayed in a folder. With this new feature, you can choose to conceal them behind a password. The PW is different from the one you use to unlock your mobile.  Your secret code can include emojis, special characters, and numbers besides letters. If you choose to hide them from your chatlist, you can only discover them by typing your code in the search bar.  This is good news because if your sibling, for instance, has access to your phone, he will not know that you have a locked chat folder.  “Rolling out secret code to Chat Lock on WhatsApp so you can protect your chats with a unique password.
