WhatsApp is preparing one of the most important changes for iPhone and Android phones in 2022, and this is because it is determined to offer users around the world the opportunity to save messages sent with an expiration date. You have already known for some time that WhatsApp allows us to send messages that have an expiration date, after which they are automatically deleted from conversations on iPhone and Android.
WhatsApp created this functionality to allow us to communicate in new ways with the loved ones in our lives, but now it is making a change for this system that has been appreciated by many people for some time already. More precisely, those at WhatsApp decided to remove the functionality based on which messages can be sent with a limited period of validity, and they could be kept by us in conversations.
WhatsApp makes a Major CHANGE in the Application for iPhone and Android
WhatsApp will give us the option to keep messages of this kind, they being saved in a special section that will be accessible from the information menu for a certain conversation, as you can see below. Messages saved in this way can be seen at any time in the future, and can be saved by anyone participating in a conversation, but now this functionality is also modified to give more flexibility to people.
WhatsApp thought that it wouldn't hurt if it decided to also offer the option to reactivate the expiration date for messages, and when this happens, if that period has passed, then the message will be automatically deleted, and no one will be able to save. This decision basically brings things back to the initial situation, so it's good to know what kind of effect the implementation of these new options for WhatsApp has that the company thought for everyone.
WhatsApp has other important changes ready to be offered to the billions of users who use the application on iPhone and Android, so we have to wait until everything is officially available to us.
