From now on, WhatsApp ensures improved privacy: individual chats can be completely hidden on the messenger service.
WhatsApp introduced chat blocking at the beginning of the year. This allows individual conversations to be protected with a password or fingerprint. Now this function will expanded again.
With the help of a secret code, users now have the option of completely hiding chats if they wish. The codes are an individual password. This gives users the option to no longer display the “Blocked Chats” folder in the chat list.

These will only become visible again when the secret code is entered in the search bar. This is intended to make them harder to find. The secret code will be introduced immediately. The global rollout will take place in the coming months. It may be that the feature is not currently available to you.
In the future, the chat lock should also be activated by long-pressing the chat. Previously, you had to click on the name within a conversation and select “Chat lock”.
