WhatsApp on Monday announced that its users will now have the option to
turn on disappearing messages by default for all new chats.
Meta-owned
platform said that it is adding two new durations for disappearing
messages: 24 hours and 90 days, as well as the existing option of 7
days.
"When enabled, all new one-on-one chats you or another
person start will be set to disappear at your chosen duration, and we've
added a new option when creating a group chat that lets you turn it on
for groups you create," WhatsApp said in a statement.
This new feature is optional and does not change or delete any of your existing chats, the company added.
WhatsApp
introduced disappearing messages last year, and recently introduced a
way for photos and videos to immediately disappear after being viewed
once.
"For people who choose to switch on default disappearing
messages, we will display a message in your chats that tells people this
is the default you've chosen," the company noted.
If a user needs a particular conversation to remain permanent, it's also easy to switch a chat back.
"We
believe disappearing messages along with end-to-end encryption are two
crucial features that define what it means to be a private messaging
service today and bring us one step closer to the feeling of an
in-personal conversation," said WhatsApp.
