WhatsApp enables disappearing messages by default

WhatsApp offers another feature for its disappearing messages to give users more control over their privacy. The new feature will allow users to turn on disappearing messages automatically for all their new one-on-one chats.

The new WhatsApp Disappearing messages feature lets users set a default timer for messages to delete themselves. This timer can be set to either 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. Users can use the feature in personal chats as well as group chats.

When enabled, all new one-on-one chats you or another person start will be set to disappear at your chosen duration, and we've added a new option when creating a group chat that lets you turn it on for groups you create, WhatsApp said.

It should be mentioned that users also have the option of turning the setting off for individual chats. WhatsApp says the new features are available now across all platforms.
