If you want an added layer of security for your WhatsApp chats, you can password protect the app to avoid prying eyes seeing private messages.
The app already offers end-to-end encrypted messages, meaning your conversations can't be intercepted by hackers. However, you can also add a password to your chats, so even if someone can unlock your phone they won't be able to see your chats on the app.
The app allows you to add either a pin, fingerprint, or face ID to protect the app and stop others accessing your chats. The feature is available on both iOS and Android devices.
