WhatsApp rolls out new option in its disappearing messages feature

New Delhi: The Meta-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp on Tuesday rolled out a new option in its disappearing messages feature, which will allow users to set messages to be automatically deleted after a set period of time.

As per reports, the messaging app said that it is adding two new durations for disappearing messages: 24 hours and 90 days, as well as the existing option of 7 days.

"When enabled, all new one-on-one chats you or another person start will be set to disappear at your chosen duration, and we've added a new option when creating a group chat that lets you turn it on for groups you create," the statement from WhatsApp read.

The company also added that this new feature is optional and does not change or delete any of your existing chats.

WhatsApp introduced disappearing messages last year, and recently introduced a way for photos and videos to immediately disappear after being viewed once.

"For people who choose to switch on default disappearing messages, we will display a message in your chats that tells people this is the default you've chosen," the company noted.

If a user needs a particular conversation to remain permanent, it's also easy to switch a chat back.

"We believe disappearing messages along with end-to-end encryption are two crucial features that define what it means to be a private messaging service today and bring us one step closer to the feeling of an in-personal conversation," said WhatsApp.
