WhatsApp new delete messages feature (Pixabay)
Earlier this October it was reported that WhatsApp is working on disappearing messages. As the name suggests, this feature self-destructs messages after a certain interval of time set by the user. The latest update on WhatsApp shows more development on disappearing messages and dark mode as well.
WhatsApp beta version 2.19.348 for Android shows the disappearing messages feature which has now been renamed to ‘Delete Messages’, WABetaInfo notes. This feature is currently being worked on and it isn’t available for public beta users as yet. WhatsApp’s Delete Messages feature is available for one-to-one and group chats.
This feature will have a toggle on/off button in the contact info for chats on WhatsApp. In group chats only admins will be able to turn this feature on or off. As for the time intervals users have five options to choose from – 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year. According to the time interval chosen messages sent to that chat will disappear. For example, if it’s 1 hour every message sent in that particular chat will disappear after that time.
