"WhatsApp Introduces Chat Lock Sync for Linked Devices"

WhatsApp's latest beta version suggests that the platform is working on enhancing the Chat Lock feature for linked devices, allowing users to add a code-based lock to unlock chats on their paired phone. This development aims to address the privacy issue of Chat Lock not transferring to linked devices, providing a more secure method to access locked chats. However, this feature is still under development and may take some time before it becomes available in beta or stable WhatsApp builds.

"WhatsApp Enhances Security with Synchronized Chat Locks and Spam Blocking"

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature to sync chat locks across linked devices, including Android, iOS, Web, Windows, and macOS versions. Currently, chat locks set on mobile devices do not carry over to other linked devices. The feature is still under development and has not been officially announced. Additionally, WhatsApp is also working on implementing username support, which would make it easier to chat with others without sharing phone numbers.

WhatsApp's Companion Mode now available to all beta users for multi-device use.

WhatsApp's "companion mode" is now rolling out to all beta users on Android, allowing users to use their account across multiple handsets. The mode differs from the "Linked devices" function as it allows users to link up to four phones at once. However, some features may still not be available, such as the ability to manage broadcast lists and post a status update from the linked device. The new companion mode is only currently available to WhatsApp beta users on Android.
