WhatsApp is doing this to prevent your chats from leaking to AI agents and unofficial clients

HIGHLIGHTS

The restricted chats feature is expected to bring restrains for chat exports, automatic media saves, Meta AI use or linked-device access for messages.

These chats will not sync to WhatsApp Web or other linked devices, limiting access through unofficial clients and AI agents.

The feature replaces Advanced Chat Privacy and is rolling out to select Android beta testers.
