WhatsApp has introduced its own chat lock feature for both iOS and Android devices and you should definitely use it if you want to keep your messages private. The steps to enable bio-metric lock on both iPhone and Android is quite similar. On an iPhone you will need to launch WhatsApp go to
Settings -> Account -> Privacy -> Screen Lock and then enable the toggle next to Touch ID / Face ID.
On an Android device, you open WhatsApp and go to
Settings -> Account -> Privacy -> Fingerprint lock and then enable the toggle next to “Unlock with fingerprint” option.
Do note that at the time of writing this, the ability to lock WhatsApp on Android is only available on WhatsApp beta. So, don’t worry if you don’t find the option on your phone. Just wait for the feature to be released on the stable builds. Also, the feature only works on new Android devices which are running on Android Marshmallow or later, so keep that in mind too.
It’s a really good feature and I hope you are using it to safeguard your chats.
