Here is how you can lock chats and hide locked chats on WhatsApp. Simply open WhatsApp, then tap and hold any chat you want to lock, and tap on “Lock Chat,” then continue. Now the chat will be locked. To see the locked chats, simply scroll down, and you will see “Locked Chats.” Tap on it, and the chats will open. This is a simple way to secure your private conversations directly within WhatsApp.

Now let’s hide the locked chats so they do not appear while scrolling down. Go to “Locked Chats,” open settings, and tap on “Hide Locked Chats.” Create a secret code – you can use any code you want or even use emojis. Confirm it, and you’re done. Now if you go back and scroll down, the locked chats will not appear as they have been hidden. To find them, simply search for your secret code, and you will see your locked chats.

If you want to remove this, go back to settings, turn off “Hide Locked Chats” and the secret code, and unlock the chat by tapping and holding it.

Hope this was useful.

Thank you very much.
