              But I have a applock feature on all my phones (Huawei, Oppo & TECNO) and even if the phone do not the one made by TECNO is downloadable on the app store for other brands to... Why even bother with this feature in Whatsapp? :S

                Now if only the Pixel photo app had this.

                  Anonymous, 01 Nov 2019never thought i.m gonna be needing this anytime soon... but... moreCaused? The original issue may be made apparent by WhatsApp, but WhatsApp doesn't cause it. I could live with an argument that Facebook may facilitate divorces, as it has algorithms that have a hand in people discovery and stuff.

                      As a OnePlus user this doesn't feel anything new.

                            Whatsapp owned by fb isn't that safe in the first place. Fingerprint unlock wouldn't be my goto method, pattern lock is the best

                                Because sometimes they will accidentally send messages, buy things online or even contact other people just out of curiosity.
                                But luckily on my phone there is a built-in feature that can lock or even hide all applications and open them with pins, patterns, passwords, fingerprints or face recognition.
