WhatsApp Hidden Chats Showing in Search on iPhone Privacy Issue

I am experiencing a serious privacy issue on my iPhone with WhatsApp regarding locked and hidden chats. These chats are supposed to remain completely private and not appear on the main screen. However, on April 25, I noticed that when I use the search bar on the WhatsApp home screen and type a keyword, messages from my hidden chats also appear in the results, and their full content is visible.

This was not the case before, and it represents a significant breach of my privacy. I have updated both the WhatsApp application and my iPhone, but the issue still persists with no improvement.

I believe that locked and hidden chats should not display their contents under any circumstances, including through search. As a user, I intentionally hide these conversations, and having their full message content exposed through search is completely unacceptable.

I request that WhatsApp urgently investigate this issue, fix the bug, and ensure that hidden chats and their contents are never displayed in search results.
