WhatsApp is expected to update its disappearing messages and this will be yet another page taken from Snapchat’s book. This new functionality will allow people to keep the vanishing messages even when they have disappeared. Here are the details to know.
WhatsApp Testing “Kept Messages” Feature
A recent report by WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is expected to include a new “Kept Messages” option under the Chat Info section of a chat.
This will allow the conversion of disappearing messages into normal messages and hence, users will be able to keep them even after disappearing messages have gone. It will be similar to how one can keep a vanishing message on Snapchat by simply saving it.
The option is said to be available when disappearing messages are enabled and can be accessed by all the chat members. WABetaInfo has shared a screenshot of the feature too for us to get an idea of it. Have a look at the image below.
