Keeping your personal messages safe is really important. If you have an iPhone, you can use Face ID, which is a fancy way of saying your phone can recognize your face, to make sure only you can open WhatsApp and see your chats.

In this guide, we'll show you how to set up this extra security measure, so your WhatsApp messages stay private and secure and to help make sure your chats are for your eyes only.

How to Lock Your WhatsApp with Face ID

  1. Open up WhatsApp on your iPhone.
  2. Once you're in the Chats section of the app, look at the bottom-right corner of your screen and tap on Settings.
  3. In the Settings menu, select Account.
  4. Now, tap on Privacy.
  1. Scroll all the way down and click on Screen Lock.
  2. Toggle on the Face ID switch to enable Face lock.
  3. You can also choose how long WhatsApp can stay open before it asks for Face ID or Touch ID again. There are four options: Immediately, After 1 minute, After 15 minutes, or After 1 hour. Pick the one that works best for you.

Conclusion

It's a smart move to protect your personal conversations, especially in today's digital world where information is getting leaked and so with this extra security, you can chat with confidence, knowing your messages are safe from prying eyes.
