WhatsApp rolls out ‘Disappearing messages’ feature

As reported, earlier in the week, WhatsApp finally announced the arrival of the ‘Disappearing message’ feature to the messenger app.

“We’re introducing ‘Disappearing Messages’ on WhatsApp. When conversations aren’t permanent, people can speak more freely and feel more comfortable being their authentic selves whether that be their wacky side or being more honest about their feelings. This is a huge step for WhatsApp as we introduce ephemerality to many people for the first time ever and help them experience a new level of privacy,” the company said.

With the new update, WhatsApp users can enable/disable ‘Disappearing Messages’ on one-on-one and group chat sessions. But, in the latter’s case, only the admin will have control.
