While you can secure WhatsApp on your phone with biometric authentication and a PIN, the ability to lock WhatsApp Web when you’re not at your computer has been lacking. However, WhatsApp has introduced a beta feature that addresses this gap, enabling users to lock WhatsApp Web for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “Screen Lock” feature allowed the app to safeguard against unauthorised access by requiring a password. WhatsApp is currently rolling out this feature to select beta testers who are using the latest version of WhatsApp Web, according to WABetaInfo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To check if this feature is activated for your WhatsApp account, simply go to WhatsApp Settings > Privacy. If the feature is accessible for your account, you will find an entry point for screen lock here. <\/p>\n\n\n
