Now a days, WhatsApp is really taking user privacy seriously. That’s why they’re launching new privacy modes to give users more protection, and even more control over their data. It’s great to see companies prioritizing user privacy and making sure that everyone feels safe and protected while using their services.
Previously WhatsApp added chat lock feature, that gives users more control over their privacy. With the option of using a fingerprint or PIN, Chat Lock safeguards conversations and ensures that only the user has access to them.
