WhatsApp to soon add new ’90 days disappearing messages’ option

WhatsApp released the disappearing messages on Android and iOS last year, allowing users to send self-destructing messages after a while. Currently, you can only set messages to disappear after seven days. But that will change soon as WhatsApp works to add more options to the feature that will allow messages to last longer than seven days.

Earlier, WhatsApp released a new update to the beta channel that added the 24-hour message loss option. Now, WABetainfo has seen evidence that the new 90-day option can be added to the disappearing message feature in the latest WhatsApp beta update (v2.21.9.6).

Once uninstalled, WhatsApp users will have more flexibility when sending disappearing messages and can choose between multiple options – 7 days, 24 hours, or 90 days – depending on their needs.

The 24-hour and 90-day options are not currently live in the latest version of WhatsApp but may be up for future updates. As with any new features of WhatsApp, the options for new disappearing messages may first arrive at the beta channel before everyone else does. If you want to be among the first to try it, you can join the WhatsApp beta program here.

After facing serious criticism of the controversial policy change, WhatsApp has been working hard to develop new privacy-focused features to try to restore users’ trust and gain access to their rivals Telegram and Signal. As part of this push, a Facebook-based company has recently released a media feature of “ View Once” that disappears for everyone and is working on increasing end-to-end encryption for both cloud and local backups.

Other notable features recently added to WhatsApp include improved team driving experience, high-quality photo transfer capabilities, and multi-device support. Besides, WhatsApp will soon allow you to transfer your conversations and media from iPhone to Android.
