WhatsApp chats are encrypted from end to end. This means that only you and the person you're chatting with can read your chats, and no one in between can read them. But if you have an intruder roommate or live in a house full of relatives, this encryption probably won't help you much as they can physically access your phone.
I've met people who borrow their phone and say they need to call or text someone, but will also scroll through their phone's photo gallery and WhatsApp chats. In this case, it becomes more difficult to hide your personal and private conversations that contain words or graphics that you display in your home.

Of course, there is a phone lock to keep your conversation safe. There are also app locks that can block the apps you want. But if you just don't work fast enough to set up a WhatsApp phone lock system or app locker, then this is something for you. WhatsApp gives you the option to hide opt-in chat without deleting it. This means you can keep your private chats safe and read whenever you want. It is not necessary to delete it. Also, you can do this through group chat and private chat.

This feature is called file chats. WhatsApp chat file lets you hide conversations from your chat screen and access them later if needed. You can save both group and individual chats. Using FileChat does not delete the chat nor back it up to your SD card. Archived chats will be found in a separate folder inside Windows that appears at the bottom of the window. Please note that archived chats will reappear when you receive a new message from this conversation.
