WhatsApp tests new text formatting tools and secret codes for locked chats – PhoneArena

WhatsApp is testing a couple of features on the beta for Android app that will give users more control over their locked chats and how they compose their messages. The upcoming features provide additional text formatting tools and the ability to lock down their private chats even further by adding a secret code.Both of these features began to appear in the beta version of the app on Android, though not at the same time. As reported by WaBetainfo and covered by us, the text formatting tools began to appear about two months ago in WhatsApp Web and then in version 2.23.21.3 of WhatsApp beta for Android.Similarly, the secret code feature reportedly appeared on the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.21.8 update, after the Chat Lock feature launched back in May. You may recall that Chat Lock introduced a way to lock away private chats into a separate folder, which could only be accessed by authenticating via the same method you used to unlock your phone.However, Meta is now working on a new feature for locked chats: the ability to set a secret code. This feature is still under development, but it is expected to be released in a future update of the app.Image
