WhatsApp Restricted Chat locks a conversation to your primary phone
WhatsApp is testing a Restricted Chat feature in its Android beta that prevents a conversation from syncing to linked devices or WhatsApp Web. When enabled, the chat remains accessible only on the primary phone, isolating it from other devices signed into the same account.
Why it matters: Users handling sensitive communications need this feature to prevent exposure on secondary devices or web clients, and teams managing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environments should monitor rollout for enforcement capabilities.
