WhatsApp works on a function to save temporary messages

July 25 (Portaltic/EP) –

whatsapp is developing a new functionality that allows you to save temporary messages in a certain section of the messaging application despite having finished the display period previously configured.

The company introduced temporary chats, which disappear after a certain time (initially 7 days) in November 2020, and a year later, it integrated options such as new durations of 24 hours and 90 days.

Once the display period established by the sender has expired, either individually (in a single chat) or in several conversations, those configured as temporary disappear and, with them, all the messages that are part of these chats.

However, WhatsApp is working on a new functionality that allows you to store temporary messages and that will be available in future updates of the beta of the ‘app’ for Android, iOS and Desktop.

as he could check WABetaInfo In a recent version of the application, the option of being able to keep the messages of the chats configured as temporary has been introduced in the ‘app’.

This portal has shared a screenshot in which WhatsApp warns that “anyone can save or discard” temporary chat messages and that group admins can limit this ability.

These messages can be consulted from a specific section. Specifically, within the Chat Information section, in a section called ‘Saved messages’.

this feature is under development Therefore, it is not yet ready to be released to the testers of the beta version of the application, nor is it known when it will reach the rest of the users.
