What WhatsApp seeks with this update is that communications through the platform are a little more “natural” and similar to those in real life. “The decision of how long a message it should be in your hands. We have gotten used to having a digital copy of almost everything we write, without even thinking about it, “they say in a statement.
This also represents benefits for the proper use of the storage on cell phones.

Keys to understanding the changes in WhatsApp
1. Note that when the temporary messages setting is enabled, “all new individual chats that you or someone else create will be set to disappear after the duration you choose.”

2. Those who choose to enable default temporary messages will see a message in their chats informing participants that this is the selected setting. Thus it is clear that the choice applies to all conversations on WhatsApp from that moment on and that it is not something personal with anyone.
3. If you want to and need that a particular conversation is not deleted, it is very easy to revert the configuration of a specific chat.
4. This new feature is optional and does not change or delete any of your chats.
5. When creating new WhatsApp groups, you can activate the function so that the messages disappear after a while.
