Yes, you can hide locked chats in WhatsApp by using the Archive feature. This doesn't specifically 'hide' them because of the lock, but archiving any chat will remove it from the main chat screen. To do so, long press the chat you wish to hide, and select the 'Archive' option. For extra privacy, ensure you have biometric lock enabled, so even if someone accesses your WhatsApp, they won't be able to open the archived (locked) chats without your fingerprint or facial recognition.
