Users will need to input a secret code to view their list of restricted chats when this functionality launches. To further secure their accounts they need to set up this code on their mobile devices beforehand.
WhatsApp’s installation of this secret code function demonstrates its dedication to protecting user privacy. WhatsApp makes sure that only authorized users can access private discussions by locking chats and demanding a PIN.
There are various benefits to WhatsApp Web’s secret code feature launch. First off by putting an extra line of protection between protected chats and unwanted access it strengthens security and privacy.

This functionality makes sure that users may keep their chats private even while using shared devices or in shared environments. Knowing that their personal communications are secure provides comfort.
Unlocking a chat without the secret code will prevent someone from viewing closed conversations even if they manage to physically access the computer or device used for WhatsApp Web. Strong protection for private talks therefore gets offered even in circumstances when security may be compromised.
A later version of the online client is planned to add the secret code function which secures locked chats on WhatsApp online. This feature is still under development. Users should expect this improvement to be a major step in strengthening the security and privacy protocols within the well known messaging service.
