Some months back, WhatsApp had introduced a disappearing message feature where users can set their chats into this mode for 24 hours or 7 days. With this feature, chats would disappear in 7 days or 24 hours. Now WhatsApp is working on the same feature for existing chats as previously this was only possible for new chats.
According to WhatsApp Beta tracker WABetaInfo, this feature is currently working seen in the Android beta version.
With this new feature, users will be able to activate disappearing messages for existing chats which was not possible before. They can activate this feature on multiple existing chats at the same time. You can choose from a variety of time durations like 24 hours, 7 days or 90 days.
Currently, it is seen in the beta build only so it is still unclear when it will be launched to the larger WhatsApp base.
WhatsApp is also working on bringing a redesigned security page with the latest build of the WhatsApp Desktop beta. This new security page will inform users regarding various aspects of the app like end-to-end encryption.
