WhatsApp brings new screen lock feature for desktop users
The messaging platform, WhatsApp has come up with the news feature of screen sharing during video calls with its users. Now, it is reported that the platform has started rolling out the screen lock feature for desktop users.
As reported, the company has started rolling out the screen lock feature for WhatsApp Desktop beta testers. With this feature, it will be possible to protect the app from unauthorized access with a password.
"WhatsApp Web is locked thanks to the screen lock feature, and it asks for a password to view the list of your conversations. To discover if this feature is enabled for your WhatsApp account, just open WhatsApp Settings > Privacy. In case the feature is available to your account, you should see a screen lock entry point here. When enabled, you will have to enter a password to unlock WhatsApp Web," mentions the report.
When the feature is enabled by the user, it makes sure that even if someone gains access to the computer while the user is away, they won’t be able to access WhatsApp chats and messages without entering the password. The report also mentions that if a user forgets the password, then they will have to log out of WhatsApp Web and then login again by scanning the QR code.
