WhatsApp will finally let you hide your locked chats behind a secret code. The Meta-owned instant messenger added locked chats back in May‚ but until now those locked chats have always remained visible within your conversation list.

There are‚ of course‚ several reasons why you might want to hide your locked chats‚ chief among them because of privacy and security. Being able to hide them behind a secret code in WhatsApp‚ is just a nice way to make the system even stronger. According to a blog post detailing the new feature‚ you'll be able to input letters‚ numbers‚ special characters‚ and even emojis to create a unique secret code that only you know. You'll also have the option to keep your locked chats visible in your conversation list‚ in case you like the way WhatsApp has been doing it up until now.
