They have been placed as a big trend in and although WhatsApp already had , the instant messaging platform wants to offer you the ability to program the self-destruction of the messages you send.
Soon you will be able to program a WhatsApp message to self-destruct
According to , the first portal to detect this feature within the code of the beta version V2.19.275 of the Android application, a WhatsApp message will self-destruct after a period of time that you can previously set.
If this new function seems familiar to you, you are not wrong. In fact, it has long offered its users the function of “secret chat”in which they can interact with each other safely, since their messages disappear from their devices after the time they have set, with lapses ranging from a second to a week later.
In fact, Telegram is very serious about its security offer, since this messaging platform also does not store the text on its serversand restricts users from both forwarding messages and screenshots of the conversation, ensuring that no trace of what has been said remains.
In addition, it also offers a function similar to secret chat, only that this platform only offers encryption of multimedia messages shared between two users and end-to-end encryption, a function that is active.
Although it is not an extremely innovative function, bringing self-destruction to a WhatsApp message could be very useful for those people who share confidential information with friends or colleagues in this application, as well as the last secret you have told your best friend or your declaration of love, and boy, is that anything goes.
We must not forget that WhatsApp has been crowned the most popular social app in the world, and more than 1,500 million users around the world use it daily, so, if applied, the function to self-destruct messages will be very well received.
So you can configure the self-destruction of messages in group chats
For now, the new feature for a WhatsApp message to self-destruct is being tested only in group chats, and messages can be set to self-destruct as soon as five seconds after being sent and up to an hour later, the downside is that it doesn’t count. with more time intervals in between, something that future versions could improve.
The option will appear within the group configuration settings under the label “ephemeral messages” (disappearing messages), once it is available.
This new feature is in its early development phase, so there are no specific details on when it might be available to all users, or if it can also be used for messages in private chats, however, the possibility of being able to program self-destruction of a WhatsApp message is quite interesting and we hope to be able to use it soon.
