WhatsApp tests feature to restrict device access
WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows users to prevent devices linked to their account from accessing certain chats, aiming to enhance privacy control. The feature is called "Restricted Chat" and works by preventing connected devices from reading the chat's content, while clarifying that messages will remain encrypted between the two parties, but will be limited to the user's primary device. Activation requires manual setup through the chat information screen and offers restrictions such as disabling automatic media saving and chat export. Currently, it works with individual conversations in the beta version. The goal of this feature is to increase control over access to private chats and to stop unwanted access through linked devices and AI assistants.
