The company “WhatsApp” announced support for the application of temporary messages and officially for all users.

And unlike “Telegram” and “Messenger”, you will not need with WhatsApp to start a secret conversation to activate this feature, as once it reaches you, both parties to the conversation will be able to activate it.

In groups, the moderators control the settings of this feature, and upon activation of it, new messages sent to the chat disappear from them after 7 days “can not be modified”, which provides a more private conversation.

As for how to enable this feature, on the “Android” and “iPhone” systems, go to a chat in WhatsApp and click on the contact’s name. After that, click on the self-disappearing messages, and if prompted, click on Continue.

WhatsApp also indicated many things that must be taken into account, if the user does not open WhatsApp within seven days, the message will disappear from the chat, however the message preview may remain visible in the notifications until WhatsApp is opened.

When you reply to a message, the first message appears, and when you reply to a self-disappearing message, the text quoted in the chat remains after seven days.

If you forward a self-disappearing message to a chat in which self-disappearing messages have been stopped, the message will not disappear from the forwarded chat.

When the user creates a backup copy before the message disappears, the self-disappearing message is included in the backup copy, and the self-disappearing messages are deleted when the user restores them from a backup copy.

According to the company, this update is currently available to all users, and in the event that it does not reach you, wait a few days, whether on “Android” or “iPhone”.
