How To Lock WhatsApp App - Easy Solution | HTG
Locking your WhatsApp app adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that no one can access your chats without authentication. Even if your phone doesn’t have a built-in app lock feature, WhatsApp provides a built-in option to secure the app using Face ID on iPhone, fingerprint biometrics on Android, or a PIN/password.
To enable app lock, open the WhatsApp app and make sure you’re logged into your account. If you're using an Android device, tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner and select Settings. On an iPhone, tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner to access Settings.
From the Settings menu, go to Privacy and scroll down to find the "App Lock" option. Tap on it, and you will see an option to enable "Unlock with Biometric" or Face ID, depending on your device. Turn on the toggle and confirm your authentication method. You can choose to lock WhatsApp immediately after closing it or set a delay for a few seconds or minutes.
Once enabled, every time you open WhatsApp, you will need to authenticate using Face ID, fingerprint, or your chosen security method. This ensures that your conversations remain private even if someone else has access to your phone.
