The feature that provides WhatsApp mobile users with privacy and protection in messaging is now coming to WhatsApp Web version. Although WhatsApp has been criticized for privacy and data protection in recent years, it has closed this gap through new updates.
Password protecting private messages is coming for WhatsApp Web
The feature to lock messages with password is now coming for web version. As you know, it is possible to access the messages you have locked and hidden on WhatsApp without protection on the web version.
The message encryption feature for the latest WhatsApp Web version is under development. In this sense, for the moment, the feature is not even available for WhatsApp Web beta users.
In this sense, the feature to encrypt WhatsApp Web secret messages will have the name Secret code. The secret code feature for WhatsApp Web messages will be activated with the next update.
The message encryption feature with secret code that comes with WhatsApp Web is important for encrypting messages with important information. Messages that are protected by fingerprint or password on the phone are accessible to everyone on the web version. Especially if your computer is automatically authorized to log in to WhatsApp, it is possible for unwanted people to access the messages.
For WhatsApp Web, however, you don’t need to password protect messages that are already private. Accordingly, it will be possible to assign a password to see messages that are already hidden in the WhatsApp mobile version. In other words, it is actually possible to encrypt the Web version with a secret code to access hidden WhatsApp messages.
In this sense, the WhatsApp Web version will become even more secure, just like the mobile versions. So, do you think this security update for WhatsApp Web version is enough for security? What kind of security measures do you think should come for WhatsApp Web? We are waiting for your comments.
