Guess what? WhatsApp is about to launch another feature that secures your area of conversation like never before. There you go again. WhatsApp is soon to bring a brand-new PIN Lock feature. Let’s get familiar with what this actually means for you.
What Will the New PIN Lock Feature Entail?. It’s in beta testing right now. So, what does it do? In creating your username, you are entitled to create a unique PIN. This creates an extra layer of protection to ensure that anyone knowing your username can’t just message you unless they know your PIN too.
If you are “coolkid123,” for instance, then the interested party who wants to text you just needs to know your username, and they have to put your PIN. If not, hooray. You are out of the woods, and all those random messages are out of reach now.
Why This Feature is a Game-Changer
Enhanced security: As an add-on to one’s door lock, the feature ensures that only invited parties are capable of reaching a user via chat. Our new feature does this and much more. More protection is given to a user’s privacy by allowing a user to share only their phone number or just their username. `,
Easy to use: Setting up is as easy as you would presume. This makes it easy; one simply needs to have a username and a PIN to have everything working okay.
No unwanted messages Anymore: Not in the mood to receive a message from a stranger? Use this feature, then.
What’s Next for WhatsApp’s Security?
But that’s not it. WhatsApp is out in the market with a few more abilities to bring to you in order to make the chatting experience as secure as possible:
Block Messages from Any Unknown Account: You will be able to block messages sent by someone who is not on your contact list.
Block Calls from Unknown Callers: This would help minimize the number of annoying and unexpected calls.
Privacy Dashboard: Find a one-stop shop to manage all settings.
These are features that are currently in the testing process, so the implementation will follow pretty soon.
WhatsApp is really stepping up its game with these latest features to make sure you are secure when chatting. This just marks the beginning, so when it comes out, do try to use it and keep your chats safe. Now, more than ever, be sure to stay safe online. While WhatsApp provides the tools, the burden is on you to remain vigilant and ensure your personal information is well guarded.
