Additional Tips:

Lock WhatsApp: You can also use third-party apps like App Lock to add an extra layer of security by locking the WhatsApp app itself. This way, even if someone accesses your phone, they won't be able to open WhatsApp without a PIN or biometric authentication.
Two-Step Verification: Ensure that two-step verification is enabled on your WhatsApp account for added security. Go to Settings > Account > Two-Step Verification and follow the prompts.

By following these steps, you can effectively hide or minimize the visibility of specific conversations on WhatsApp, enhancing your privacy and control over your messaging experience.
