WhatsApp rolls out new ‘secret code’ to add extra layer of privacy – The Star

Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp has introduced a new secret code set to add additional protection for chats. WhatsApp said the new feature will make chats harder to find if someone has access to your phone or you share a phone with someone else.The company says with the secret code, an individual will now be able to set unique passwords different from what they have been using to unlock their phones."This will give your locked chats an extra layer of privacy," WhatsApp said. "You'll have the option to hide the Locked Chats folder from your chatlist so that they can only be discovered by typing your secret code in the search bar."However, WhatsApp said if a user feels like the new feature does not fit their needs, they can still choose to have the locked chats appear on chatlist. "Whenever there’s a new chat which you want to lock, you can now long press to lock it rather than visiting the chat’s settings."Additionally, WhatsApp said it hopes the new feature will be more useful to the users. "We’re so happy our community has been loving Chat Lock, and hope that secret code makes it even more useful to them."The secret chat rolled out on November

Your WhatsApp chats get a secret upgrade today and you definitely need to use it

WhatsApp has released a new feature that will keep your private conversations much more secure.WhatsApp update (Image: GETTY)WhatsApp is starting to push out a vital upgrade to users across the globe and it fixes a major flaw when trying to keep chats secure and private. Chat Lock was first announced earlier this year with users able to hide certain conversations behind biometric security such as Face ID or the fingerprint scanner. It's a useful function that keeps messages away from prying eyes but it does have one problem as it only works on the main device you are using. That means if you have a secondary machine, such as a laptop where you are logged into WhatsApp, Chat Locked messages can be read without needing any additional security. It's a worry for anyone relying on this service to keep things private. Luckily that annoying flaw has now been fixed thanks to an upgrade called "secret code". This allows you to add a unique set of numbers to Chat Lock making sure they stay blocked across all devices until the code is entered. "Earlier this year we rolled out Chat Lock to help people protect their more sensitive conversations. Today we’re

Best of 2023: January | February (Middle East/Europe) In February and March, the Hologic WTA Tour moved into the North American spring swing culminating in the Sunshine Double. Our third video roundup encompasses Merida, Monterrey, Austin, Indian Wells and Miami.

Whenever you send nudes on a platform such as Whatsapp, the original copy is kept in their servers

Madam Maud Adjeley Ashong Elliot, the Vice President, Internet Society of Ghana, has advised women and girls to refrain from posting and storing their nude photographs online, particularly on social media platforms.In a presentation delivered at the National Stakeholder's Forum On Women's Online Rights in Ghana held in Accra, she said, the act, often done with clear intentions often caused cyber bulling, online harassment, blackmail, safety issues which compromised women's reputation, affect their mental health and self-worth.This, she explained, could lead to partial or total withdrawal from the online society thus defeating efforts to garner more female inclusion in the online space.“Let's stop sharing our nude pictures online because, whenever you send a message on a platform such as Whatsapp, the original copy is kept in their servers. They only send a copy of it to the person you have sent the message to. Everything you post online is kept; whether you delete it on your phone or not. So, let's not even share nudes at all,” she said.The University of Professional Studies also called for a more stringent legal framework, including education to safeguard the security of women and girls on the Ghanaian cyber space.Madam Hilda Odua Sowah, the

We will be able to chat with Meta bots in WhatsApp – Gearrice

Meta is preparing the arrival of its bots in WhatsApp. Instant messaging has started to integrate these “personas” with whom we can chat, like ChatGPT. Last September, during the Connect developers conference, Meta put the emphasis on generative AI and particularly on bots. Around thirty (!) profiles have appeared or will appear on Facebook and Instagram, each with their own specialty: the “dungeon master”, for example, offers an adventure in which you are the hero. Meta even went so far as to give each of these personas a personality close to that of a celebrity. The famous dungeon master is none other than Snoop Dog… Read Bots galore, stickers, image editing: Meta puts AI everywhere And since Facebook and Instagram are not enough, WhatsApp will also allow users to interact with these bots. The latest beta version of the application gives access to these characters, on Android as well as on iOS, to a handful of users.
