WhatsApp Delete Messages feature to arrive soon
It’s 2020 and WhatsApp is expected to introduce a number of features to make the popular messaging platform more popular and a fun place to be. Amongst the various features, one long-rumoured feature is the disappearing messages one, much like on Snapchat. However, that could be called something else with a different purpose altogether. Read on to know more:
WhatsApp Delete Messages feature
According to WABetaInfo, Facebook-owned WhatsApp is soon to introduce a new feature called Delete Messages, which will disappear after a set period of time.
WABetaInfo previously spotted the feature in Android beta version and now it has been on iOS beta version. This means the feature will soon make its entry for both Android and iOS users.
WhatsApp Delete Messages to launch soon
One interesting thing about the Delete Messages feature is that it has been referred to as a ‘cleaning tool,’ specifically for group chats. By the description, it appears the feature will allow admins to remove messages after a while so that group messages don’t pile up.
Additionally, the feature will ensure the WhatsApp messages don’t occupy a lot of their smartphone/cloud storage for individual chats.
The new information fully changes the functionality of the previously-rumoured Disappearing features. To recall, previously the feature would let messages vanish, much the way it happens on Snapchat.
Other WhatsApp features in 2020
Past rumours suggest that WhatsApp is soon to get the highly-anticipated dark mode for Android and iOS, multiple-device support, QR code support, Last seen customisations, possible ads in WhatsApp Status section, and a lot more.
