  • WhatsApp is rolling out a new Secret Code feature to make chats more private.
  • Users will be able to lock individual chats and the Locked Chats folder with a Secret Code.
  • The feature should be available widely in the coming months.

WhatsApp has added a new Secret Code feature as an extension to its existing Chat Lock functionality. The messaging platform announced on Thursday that Secret Code is an additional way to protect sensitive chats and make it tougher for people to find if they happen to access your phone.
