New WhatsApp’s Chat Lock Feature
This feature lets you hide your private chats by using a password-protected wall. It stores a discussion in a folder that can only be accessed with their device's password or biometric, like a fingerprint.

It automatically hides content from notifications, so your family and friends won't catch you when an unexpected text arrives. [1]
"We think this feature will be great for people who have reason to share their phones from time to time with a family member or those moments where someone else is holding your phone at the exact moment an extra special chat arrives," WhatsApp says.
Once the update arrives, users can tap any one-to-one or group exchange and select the lock option. To reveal the secret dialogues, slowly pull down your inbox and enter your passcode or complete a biometric scan. [1]
In the coming months, WhatsApp's Chat Lock will add options like locking for companion devices and custom passwords (so you can hide texts from someone who knows your phone code). [1]
