WhatsApp users can now protect their 'most intimate conversations' with new feature
A new WhatsApp password feature will allow users to 'lock and hide' their 'most intimate conversations', Meta has said.
Meta also gives WhatsApp users the option to encrypt their backup data and stop other users from being able to screenshot chats as well as make messages disappear automatically. Users are able to lock a chat with ease by tapping the name of a chat and pressing on the lock option.Chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post: “New locked chats in WhatsApp make your conversations more private.
However, the government denied that the Bill would ban encrypted messaging, stating that it aims to target child abuse content while keeping privacy enshrined online. Despite this, tech companies who refuse to comply with the government's demands to identify and remove content deemed harmful from their platforms could receive massive fines.
A No 10 spokesperson previously said in response to the criticism: "Tech companies we believe have a moral duty to ensure they are not blinding themselves and law enforcement to unprecedented levels of child sexual abuse. We support strong encryption.
