Everyone is very aware that you need security even on the Internet. This is so, and all companies that offer products and services on the Internet know what they have to do to guarantee it.
There are the SSL certificates for web pages, the antivirus on any computer or the end-to-end encryption system so that no one reads the conversations if an account is compromised. But sometimes the threat is not in cyberspace and that is why we are going to tell you how to put a password in WhatsApp and hide your chats so that nobody reads them.

How to put a password on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is an application like any other that you can have on any device. Of course, your smartphone is the centre of everything, but there are users who use the web version to check their messages. However, if they leave these devices at the mercy of other users, their messages can be revealed physically without there being any way to avoid it.

Fortunately, there are tools to avoid these problems. And it is that you can put a password in WhatsApp and hide your chats so that nobody reads them. The procedure can be done with the application’s own tools, specifically from the privacy settings available. We are going to tell you how to achieve this step by step and you will see how simple it is:

  
* Open WhatsApp
* Go to the three points on the right and choose Settings
* Select Account and then Privacy
* Swipe to the bottom
* Select Fingerprint Lock

Once you have reached this point, you just have to press the switch to activate this function. Then the time will come when the Facebook app receives permission to read your fingerprint in exchange for nobody being able to read your chats without your consent. We also recommend deactivating high-priority notifications so that no one knows when you have a message to read in those chats that you prefer to keep secret from prying eyes.

How to hide WhatsApp on your smartphone
