In this day and age, it’s important to safeguard your personal data as much as you can. WhatsApp has an app lock feature to help keep your chats protected, but it requires biometric authentication. The latest beta, however, is bringing more authentication methods for you to choose from.
According to the vigilant folks over at WABetaInfo, the latest WhatsApp beta is available on the Google Play Store. Version 2.24.6.20 on Android appears to be rolling out an improved app lock feature for some beta users.
