How To Download !!BETTER!! All Chats From Whatsapp
Iolanda Gordin
Some conversations are meant to stay between you and the sender, and WhatsApp just added a feature to help your private chats stay private. Typically, access to your phone means access to all your conversations, but with Secret Code, it doesn't have to be that way.
Secret Code builds on Chat Lock, a feature introduced by WhatsApp in May, that lets users hide specific chats by moving them from the inbox into a folder that can only be accessed via a password or biometric.
Whether someone shares a phone or has family or friends with access to their passcode, Secret Code ensures that other users won't be able to see their private chats' contents -- or even know of the chat's existence -- if they don't want them to.
If you want to transfer your WhatsApp chat history when you switch to a new phone, there are several solutions. The easiest option is to transfer your WhatsApp data to a new phone by restoring your data from Google Drive.
If you are making the switch from an iPhone to Samsung Galaxy device and looking to move WhatsApp to your new phone, we recommend that you transfer your WhatsApp data via Google Drive, following the instructions above.
Disappearing messages are not new, but they are quickly becoming a popular option. Secure messaging app Signal has been offering the feature since 2016, and WhatsApp launched disappearing messages in November last year. But why should you use them?
Meanwhile, WhatsApp warns, if you reply to a vanishing message, the quoted text could remain in the chat after seven days. And if someone creates a backup before a message is deleted, the disappearing message will be included.
Also important to note is, you should only use the feature when communicating with people you trust. Even when disappearing messages are enabled, there are other ways the chat can be saved, such as someone using a camera to take a picture of the screen, or taking screenshots.
In Signal, you can tap the contact or group name and set a time after which you wish the messages to disappear. One you have done so, a little timer icon should appear detailing the time you have set with the contact or group.
The story so far: WhatsApp-owner Meta has announced a feature that will let its messaging service platform users keep their more personal chats hidden and locked. Here is what you need to know.
The new WhatsApp Chat Lock feature lets users select both personal and group chats which they want to keep extra discreet and protected. After tapping on the selected chats, users will be able to lock these chats. This moves the conversations to a specially secured folder. In order to see them again, users can pull down their WhatsApp inbox to reveal the concealed folder. Then, they will have to enter their password or their biometric data to unlock the protected chats.
Once you lock a chat, the app will also automatically hide the contents of that chat in notifications. You can lock a chat by tapping the name of a one-to-one or group and selecting the lock option. To reveal these chats, you have to slowly pull down on your inbox and enter your phone password or biometric.
The Meta-owned company says it plans to add more options for Chat Lock, including locking for companion devices and creating a custom password for your chats so that you can use a unique password different from the one you use for your phone.
I have a Whatsapp bot written in python and flask with Twilio as the Messaging API. The app was working fine until I noticed that responses sent from the app are not being delivered. Twilio however is still routing messages to my app correctly but whatsapp messages sent from my flask app to the whatsapp are not being delivered. Is there a problem going on with Twilio? Is anyone facing the same problem.
Note: Archived individual or group chats will stay archived when you receive a new message from that individual or group chat. You will not receive notifications for archived chats unless you are mentioned or replied to.

I've tried both the mute and archive functions. But still, every time there's a new message in the Whatsapp group chat, the green circle thing with a number still shows up to notify me, and the group chat appears near the top. I can also read the first few words of the latest message in that group chat.
Short of leaving the group, is there any way to "truly" mute it? That is, have it completely out of sight and relegated to the bottom of my list of chats, but I can still locate it, look at all the new messages, and respond to it whenever I like?
Any new notifications related to these 'locked chats' will also be hidden and users will be required to enter their device password or biometric information such as fingerprint touch or facial recognition.
WhatsApp promises to add more options to Chat Lock in the coming months. New features will include the ability to lock chats on your companion devices and create a custom password for your locked chats that is different from your phone password. The new chat lock feature will be available on both iOS and Android.
Earlier on May 3, WhatsApp had announced updates to its polls feature. The company now allows users to create single-vote polls, search for polls in their chats and receive notifications people vote on their polls. WhatsApp had also announced the ability to share images and documents with captions.
Other people have had similar experiences with WhatsApp messages purporting to be from family members. One member of the public that contacted Tech.co by email said they'd received a convincing message from a scammer pretending to be their cousin, and that the scammer was even using their profile picture.

In a call forwarding scam, a victim will get a call from a scammer, who will try to convince them to ring a number. Unbeknownst to the victim, this is a call forwarding service request line, and it means that all calls to their number will now be directed to the scammer's phone.
How Do I Protect Myself? Be very wary of calls from unknown numbers on WhatsApp, especially if they don't follow the traditional mobile/landline format used in your country. In reality, however, all unknown numbers should be treated with suspicion.
One version of this con was reported on TikTok by US-based English teacher Amanda Seimitz in May of last year. It involved a scammer contacting her on WhatsApp purporting to be from her bank. The malicious actor claimed she had to update her banking details in order to pay outstanding bills and send/receive payments.
If a scammer is successful, they could easily impersonate the victim and commit even more scams, such as extracting money from family members. Requests for money would look significantly less suspicious coming from a target's actual phone number.
How Do I Protect Myself? If you're using WhatsApp and you receive a message from a number you don't recognize claiming to be someone you know, ask for proof of identity, and certainly do not part with any money or personal information.
How do I Protect Myself? If you receive an email from a big brand that includes spelling mistakes, is formatted in an odd way, or comes from an email address that looks strange, don't open it, and certainly don't click on it. Like with banks and other companies, you can always contact the company through a distinct, official channel to confirm that the email whether the email is legitimate.
The simple rule for avoiding WhatsApp scams is this: Never answer WhatsApp messages or calls from numbers you don't recognize, and never click on links included in WhatsApp messages from unknown numbers.
If you're switching from Android to iPhone, you'll need to use the "Move to iOS" app, as you cannot do this using the WhatsApp app alone. To be able to use Move to iOS, your iPhone must be new (not set up yet) or has been factory reset.
