WhatsApp will allow you to send messages that self-destruct within 24 hours

If yesterday we knew that WhatsApp will finally encrypt the copies of our conversations, now we know that it would be testing sending messages that disappear after 24 hours.

Una approach to the trend that Snapchat created in its day and that we have seen in October of last year in the same WhatsApp with the temporary messages.

And it would not be the only thing that could "self-destroy" but they also have in mind that the images that we share in a group chat, when we leave it, will disappear. A series of actions aimed at privacy since we do not have as many images in the storage of the mobile as we share.

Regarding the messages that disappear after 24 hours, of course, again WABetaInfo published from its Twitter account that the messaging app I would be testing these types of messages that self-destruct. Currently we have the temporary messages at 7 days, but it seems like a long time for some, so the app would offer more options like this.

WhatsApp is testing the ability to set messages to disappear after 24 hours.

It would work for both individual chat messages and those we send to groups; Unlike the possibility that the images are automatically deleted when we leave a group chat. That by the way, these same ones cannot be "removed" from the app, although it does not mean that some clever take a screenshot to "steal" it.

We do not know the arrival date for messages that self-destruct within 24 hours, as well as the functionality of the images that would disappear from the group chat once we had left it. Be that as it may, they are working on it from beta channels in certain regions and users, so at the moment let us know that we already have messages on WhatsApp that self-destruct in 24 hours, we will notify.
