Exceptions to the App Lock Feature
While the app lock effectively restricts unauthorised access to WhatsApp, there are a few exceptions to consider:
- Answering Calls: Even with the app locked, you will still be able to receive and answer WhatsApp calls directly from the notification window without needing to unlock the app itself.
- Replying to Messages: In some cases, depending on your phone’s settings and WhatsApp version, you might be able to reply to messages directly from the notification without unlocking the app. However, this functionality might be limited and may not be available for all message types.
