WhatsApp is a messaging application which lays claim to being 100 per cent secure. Texts, chats, and even voice (and now video) calls are secured with end-to-end encryption — meaning that everything you do on WhatsApp is as confidential as it should be.
However, you can take it one step further and safeguard WhatsApp by locking the app itself. So even if anyone gets to know your phone’s passcode, your WhatsApp data would remain safe.
The standard version of WhatsApp doesn’t have an inbuilt lock-in; you have to install an additional app lock from your app store. While most of the new phones in the market have some or the other inbuilt lock system, what about the different older versions?
For all your worries, Whatsapp Plus is there. Whatsapp Plus has an inbuilt lock system in it.
WhatsApp Plus sometimes has confidential information such as financial information, bills, and business plans. To have a layer of added security, users like to have a feature where they can lock their apps.
