WhatsApp Disappearing Messages Feature Details

If you are unaware about what disappearing messages mean, here is a hint. Unlike normal messages which the users expect to stay forever until they are deleted or forgotten, the disappearing messages are sent with a time limit after which they are automatically deleted from the recipients’ inbox. This is similar to the feature which Gmail has introduced in its inbox, where the users can set a self destruct timer after which the email gets deleted from the user’s inbox. Similarly, with the disappearing messages feature, users will be able to send messages with a time limit, after which the recipient won’t be able to access the message anymore. Notably, WhatsApp’s competitor, Telegram, which is another popular messaging app, also comes with a similar feature known as Secret Chat, but it is a little different.
