WhatsApp Hidden Chats Features: WhatsApp is not just a chatting app, but has become a crucial privacy concern for people today. Sometimes, we want to keep certain chats hidden from the eyes of others. In such situations, some special WhatsApp features can completely protect your privacy. Here, we're telling you about some amazing WhatsApp features that can help you completely hide your chats.
Archive Chats: If you want to temporarily hide a chat, the Archive feature is the easiest way. This makes the chat disappear from the home screen, but it doesn't delete it. Even when a new notification appears, the chat remains hidden, preventing anyone from knowing you've spoken to someone. You can restore it at any time by going to the Archived Chats section.
Fingerprint Lock: WhatsApp's Fingerprint Lock feature protects your entire app. When it's on, a fingerprint is required to open the app. This means that no one will be able to open WhatsApp on your phone, even if it's unlocked. In this way, this feature, combined with Chat Lock, provides double protection.
Chat Lock: WhatsApp's Chat Lock feature allows you to lock your most sensitive chats with a passcode or biometrics. Once this feature is activated, no one can view your private chats without authentication. Locked chats are moved to the 'Locked Chats' folder, which can only be opened with a password or fingerprint. This feature is available for both Android and iPhone users.
Hide Locked Chats: This feature is extremely useful; neither your phone nor WhatsApp users will know that you have hidden or locked any chats. You can hide locked chats without anyone knowing that they are locked or hidden. To use this feature, you first need to lock the chat, then go to Locked Chats and click on the 3-dot icon. Here, select the Hide Locked Chats option. Now, you need to save a secret code. You can also use emojis. Now, whenever you want to view these chats, you just need to type that secret code in the search box and the chats will appear.
App Privacy Settings: WhatsApp recently added several new options to its privacy settings, such as hiding "Last Seen," "Online Status," and "Profile Photo." You can decide who can see your activity. Also, photos or videos sent with the "View Once" feature automatically delete after viewing. These features together make your chats completely private.
Disappearing Messages: WhatsApp's Disappearing Messages feature automatically deletes your chats after a set period of time. You can set a timer of 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. This is beneficial for those who don't want to keep their chat history for a long time. This feature is extremely useful in keeping private conversations confidential.
