Another new feature announced is a new mode for temporary messages. Currently it is possible to activate the function that allows setting a time frame so that the messages of a certain chat disappear automatically.
The new mode, if activated, will implement temporary messages in all chats at once, which will make the WhatsApp experience “ephemeral”, as Zuckerberg stressed, since all messages will automatically disappear after seven days.
In relation to the content that disappears, there will also be another function, called “watch once”, which will automatically delete the photos and videos when the receiver has seen them, although the possibility of taking screenshots will be maintained.
The temporary message mode and the “watch once” feature will soon be coming to beta app participants. The company hopes that these developments will make messages “more private and secure.”
