Whatsapp web or Whatsapp for desktop will lack some features that are already available on whatsapp for mobile. Chat Lock is introduced by whatsapp which allows us to lock individual chats and hide them from the main chats page. This feature is rolling out to Whatsapp web soon.
According to recent report from WABeta Info there is a chat lock icon in the sidebar tab. This gives us a glimpse of the upcoming feature.
The chat lock button gives access to all locked chats by user.
