Back in November 2020, WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature that allowed users to send messages that disappear after 7 days. Now, it seems that the company is working on a similar update that will have messages disappear after 90 days.
Previously, the popular messaging application had stated that it is working on view once messages that would disappear forever after just being viewed once. Similarly, its latest Beta build brings a 90 days disappearing message feature that would also have messages removed after around three months. As of right now, this is in the Beta build version 2.21.17.16 that is available for Android.
In other words, the feature is still some time away from making it to the live version of the app. A new report from WaBetaInfo also shared screenshots that showcased a new menu that lets users customize their ‘Disappearing Messages.’ This menu offers options ranging from 90 days, 7 days, 24 hours, or just completely turning off the feature, which means that it basically offers users more flexibility and options to choose from.
Unfortunately, it is unclear when this feature might be rolled out for the live WhatsApp build since the company is known to test features many weeks or even months before it is finally released to the broader user base. Although, we do know that it will arrive in a future update and that more options is better for the user as well. So stay tuned for more updates.
