WhatsApp Disappearing Messages To Get 15 New Durations

For all the people who are unaware, disappearing messages is a WhatsApp feature that allows users to send messages that vanish from both the sender and receiver’s chat after a certain period of time. The point worth mentioning here is that the platform currently supports three durations for disappearing messages that are:

• 24 hours
• 7 days
• 90 days

According to WABetaInfo, there will be new durations present under the “More options” menu in the coming days. The WhatsApp menu will include 15 new durations including 1 year, 180 days, 60 days, 30 days, 21 days, 14 days, 6 days, 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, 12 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours, and 1 hour.

These new durations will be quite handy as you will have more control over the messages you send and receive with the addition of more durations for disappearing messages. It will be undoubtedly a welcoming feature for WhatsApp Users.

The report claims that the 1-hour duration which is the shortest among all will likely be helpful for messages containing sensitive or confidential information. Moreover, it will enable all users to send a message that disappears quickly, preventing the text from being saved on the recipient’s device for a long time.
