How to lock your WhatsApp
 
WhatsApp now has a feature that allows users to lock their chats behind its own security checks according to My Broadband.
Although WhatsApp does provide support for end to end encryption this cannot stop a person from accessing your WhatsApp messages if they have physical access to your smartphone.
The feature is available on iOS when the locking feature on iOS is activated. Users need to go to their Settings then tapping on Account and then tap on Privacy on WhatsApp.
Android does not have a locking feature available for WhatsApp, unlike iOS, this means that Android users will have to rely on third-party apps.
