"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.
