How To Hide WhatsApp Message Content In Notification Bar?

WhatsApp messages are the quickest way to stay connected with your friends and family while also getting some quality life updates by sharing pictures, videos or even voice messages. The app already provides some top notch privacy features to the users, such as the Chat Lock feature, which hides the message contents appearing on the phone’s notification bar. Meanwhile, learn how to hide WhatsApp’s message content from appearing on the notification bar.

Users’ privacy has always been a matter of concern, while WhatsApp has already worked on some great privacy and security features to offer a secure environment to its users. It’s been a while since WhatsApp introduced the new Chat Lock, which significantly hides the message content from showing on the lock screen as well as on the notification bar, providing more privacy to our conversations, as at times, we don’t want others to peek into our private conversations while our phone is not with us. 

However, we can’t really lock every chat from WhatsApp’s chat list, that’s where we need an alternate option. Though, you don’t need to go anywhere as WhatsApp itself has the option that significantly helps users to hide their message contents from appearing on the lock screen as well as on the notification, while they will only be available when the user will open the app. This new option is App Lock.
