WhatsApp is introducing a new option for "deleting messages".

The new feature will allow app users to enable the disappearance of messages in user conversations, giving it the ability to automatically delete messages after seven days.

Anyone can enable the option in their chats and if it is a "WhatsApp group", then the ability to delete messages can be activated only by the "administrators" of the group.

"We are starting with 7 days, because we think it offers peace of mind to know that conversations are not permanent, while at the same time we are practice, as you do not forget what you wrote, or what you were talking about," said a spokesman. and ËhatsApp.

"The shopping list or the address of a store will be there for a few days, as long as you will need it and then it will disappear."

Missing messages will also delete photos and videos after seven days.

Once the new option is fully displayed, it will always be available in the contact section of each number you have on WhatsApp. This new feature will not work for old messages before the option expires. WhatsApp says it will start spreading the "disappearing messages" option to all users this month.
