WhatsApp Can Now Automatically Make All Your Messages Disappear.
- WhatsApp has worldwide expanded the choices for its Disappearing Messages feature.
- Users may now set their messages to delete after three days.
- It will also enable Disappearing Messages by default for new one-on-one chats.
Thanks to a new version, WhatsApp users may now opt to have their messages vanish after a range of time periods.
The messaging app owned by Meta has expanded the possibilities for its vanishing messages function, which was introduced late last year.
In addition to the ability to delete communications after seven days, users now have two more options for how long the deletion period is – 24 hours and 90 days.
WhatsApp Can Now Automatically Make All Your Messages Disappear
When the Disappearing Messages feature is enabled, all new messages in a selected conversation disappear once the user specifies a time period.
People may choose to erase their communications for personal reasons. They may, for example, include critical information that they don’t want anybody to see — not even on WhatsApp, which is end-to-end encrypted.
HOW TO TURN DISAPPEARING MESSAGES ON OR OFF IN WHATSAPP
You may send disappearing messages on WhatsApp by turning them on, or you can remove them by turning them off.
When you activate disappearing messages, fresh messages sent in the conversation will vanish after seven days.
All messages in the conversation are controlled by the most recent selection. Messages sent or received prior to the activation of vanishing messages will not be impacted.
In an individual conversation, either person can activate vanishing messages.
To enable disappearing messages:
- Open the WhatsApp chat.
- Tap the contact’s name.
- Tap Disappearing messages.
- If prompted, tap Continue.
- Select On.
To disable disappearing messages:
- Open the WhatsApp chat.
- Tap the contact’s name.
- Tap Disappearing Messages.
- If prompted, tap Continue.
- Select Off.
In general, WhatsApp wishes to imitate the security of face-to-face interactions and provide users with the assurance that their messages will not be stored online.
WhatsApp says that storing all chats indefinitely is “the equivalent of a note-taker following us around creating a permanent record of everything we’ve said.”
Also, as of today, WhatsApp users may enable Disappearing Messages for all new chats.
In a blog post, WhatsApp detailed the modifications. They will be available to WhatsApp users worldwide beginning today.
It reads, ‘Deciding how long a message should last should be in your hands.’ ‘We’ve gotten into the habit of leaving a digital duplicate of almost everything we type without even thinking about it.’ It’s the equivalent of a note-taker following us around, keeping a permanent record of everything we say.
‘Today, we’re delighted to provide our users greater options for controlling their messages and how long they stay on the site.’
Today’s other new update – enabling Disappearing Messages for all new chats – is optional and has no effect on current talks.
When enabled, this feature will apply Disappearing Messages to all one-on-one discussions that users initiate or initiate with other users.
Users may also choose to enable Disappearing Messages for group conversations they establish; but, unlike one-on-one chats, this functionality is not automatically enabled for group chats.
‘We’re bringing out a new vanishing messages option on WhatsApp today so you’ll be able to make all new chats disappear by default after 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days,’ said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (previously known as Facebook).
‘Not every message has to be there forever.’
Disappearing Messages will be available on WhatsApp in November 2020. It started at the time that, it wanted talks to be “as similar to in-person as possible,” so that “they don’t have to hang around long.”
However, there is nothing in place to prevent the other user from screenshotting a message, and, unlike Snapchat, WhatsApp will not notify you if they do.
WhatsApp has been progressively experimenting with ways to make user communications more ‘ephemeral’ — in August of this year, WhatsApp began rolling out a Snapchat-inspired feature called View Once, which causes photographs and videos to self-destruct’ after being accessed.
The company claims that by making content disappear, users would be able to share important information more easily and safely.
