WhatsApp today finally has a confirmation for a new function that is kept secret by the American company, or at least when it comes to the application, because in reality it has already published information about it on its website. We are talking about the function that will allow us to send our friends messages that disappear after a certain period of time after they were sent, the WhatsApp company creating a special page describing the functionality.
WhatsApp it says that messages that disappear automatically have a validity period of 7 days, which apparently cannot be changed, and after this period passes, they will no longer be available for viewing. The period of 7 days from sending the message passes regardless of whether it was seen by the person to whom it is sent, or not, the only important thing is the date on which it was sent by us, from then on the deadline for its disappearance runs.
WhatsApp: OFFICIAL, the New SECRET Function has been Confirmed
WhatsApp says that this function applies both to text messages and to pictures or video clips, so no matter what we send to other people, the final result will be exactly the same for everyone. In this idea, WhatsApp also writes a warning for people, telling them to send messages of this kind only to people they know, and here it indirectly refers to intimate materials, which can be saved as screenshots, for example .
“You can send disappearing messages on WhatsApp by enabling disappearing messages. After activation, new messages sent in individual or group chat will disappear after seven days. The most recent selection controls all messages in the chat. This setting will not affect messages previously sent or received in the chat. In an individual chat, each user can turn disappearing messages on or off. In a group chat, only group admins can turn disappearing messages on or off."
WhatsApp I say that messages that disappear can be saved in backups by users, but when that backup is installed in a phone, if 7 days have passed since sending, it will be deleted automatically. This measure is a very good one, because it prevents the saving of messages of this kind from WhatsApp, but it could be easily bypassed if the backup is decrypted and modified by those who know how to do this.
WhatsApp he did not say when exactly this function will be launched that allows us to send messages that disappear automatically, but since there is a page dedicated to the functionality on his website, it is clear that we do not have long to wait until it is offered .
