WhatsApp is developing a new privacy feature called Restricted Chat, according to WABetaInfo. The feature would allow users to keep selected conversations on only one device, even if the WhatsApp account is linked to other devices such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones. While conversations would still be protected by end-to-end encryption, Restricted Chat would prevent them from appearing on WhatsApp Web, desktop apps, or secondary phones.
The feature is still in development and not yet available to beta testers, nor has WhatsApp announced a release date. It could be particularly useful for keeping particularly sensitive conversations confined to one device, especially when using WhatsApp on shared or work computers.
