WHATSAPP INITIATES NEW DISAPPEARING MESSAGES OPTION
Friday, 06 November 2020
WhatsApp is rolling out its new feature on its app and it’s called the disappearing messages this month! The option enables WhatsApp users to make messages disappear on chat convos between friends, to automatically delete messages after seven days. Anyone has the ability to enable the option for individual chats and group admins will also have the ability to enable this feature on group chats.
“We’re starting with 7 days because we think it offers peace of mind that conversations aren’t permanent while remaining practical so you don’t forget what you were chatting about,” says a WhatsApp spokesperson. “The shopping list or store address you received a few days ago will be there while you need it, and then disappear after you don’t.”
Disappearing messages will wipe videos and photos clean after seven days, while the messages will disappear for both parties, however, it is still possible to screenshot pictures or screen record videos.
Users will need to enable disappearing messages on a group or individual basis. The setting will not clear out older messages; however, it will only affect new messages once it’s enabled by either party.
