Soon, you can make WhatsApp messages disappear: How new feature will work

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature for Android that will allow users to make their messages disappear. This feature has been spotted on the instant messaging platform in the past and has now made its way to the beta version of the Android app. The feature was called Disappearing Messages previously and allowed users to delete their messages after a fixed period of time automatically. It has now been spotted by WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo which claims that the feature has now been renamed to  Delete Messages in the upcoming beta. 

The Delete Messages feature has been implemented in the Dark Mode for smartphones which are under development as well. The tracker adds that the feature is currently under development which means that users will not be able to see it even if they are using the beat version for the app. However, just like other WhatsApp features, this one will also be made available for all the users in the coming months.
