It is undeniable that WhatsApp is one of the most widely used applications on smartphones. It is a great tool that allows you to share photos, music, contacts, and other information, as well as have conversations with friends either through text or video. However, when sharing a lot of your personal data with friends and family and leaving the app unprotected, it exposes all the data to risks. It could become a prize for malicious minds 😈.
Fortunately, there are many Android apps that help you lock and protect messaging apps completely, avoid unauthorized access, and secure your accounts from spying secretly. But what if you just want to lock a specific conversation with another person on WhatsApp instead of protecting it entirely? You can do that by following the method we will review in this article.
The Locker for Whats Chat App application is a very distinctive app that allows you to protect specific conversations within the WhatsApp application or protect the entire app if you wish. In other words, you can protect the chat between you and a friend while other unprotected chats can be opened without any obstacles. The app also allows you to protect groups, not just regular conversations. The app protects data through a 4-digit PIN or fingerprint if the phone has a fingerprint reader. Moreover, the app is easy to use and includes a simple user interface.
After downloading and installing the Locker for Whats Chat App, and running it for the first time, you will be asked to set a 4-digit PIN, and then re-enter the code for confirmation. Then you will enter your email, which will be used to send the PIN code in an email in case you forget it, and then click Save. After completing these steps, you will need to grant permissions to the app by tapping the Enable button and activating the button as shown in the image above.
Once you have completed the setup steps, you can now use the app easily. Just press the blue “+” button at the bottom right, and WhatsApp will open directly in the Chats section. There, you can select the conversation or group you want to apply protection to. Clicking on the conversation will add it to the app directly. You can press the “+” button again to add another conversation or group… and so on.
After adding the conversation or group to Locker for Whats Chat App, open WhatsApp and try to open this conversation; immediately, the app authentication window will appear, where you must confirm your identity through the PIN code or fingerprint. After that, you can open the conversation and do as you please. When exiting the conversation and the app and reopening it, you will need to confirm your identity again, ensuring the best protection for your data.
If individual protection is not suitable for you and you want to protect all conversations and WhatsApp entirely, you do not need to add all conversations or groups to the app as mentioned above. You can simply open Locker for Whats Chat App, then click on the menu button at the top left, go to the Settings section, and activate the App Lock option. From now on, every time you try to open WhatsApp, you will be asked to confirm your identity.
