<\/p>\n

\tWhatsApp introduced an option allowing messages to automatically vanish after seven days, a move it claimed would make conversations appear more private and similar to face-to-face communication.<\/p>\n

The new function, which will start rolling out globally this month, is driven by the company\u2019s goal to \u201cmake conversations on WhatsApp feel as close to in-person as possible, which means they shouldn\u2019t have to stick around forever\u201d, WhatsApp said in a statement announcing the step.<\/p>\n

When turned on, the feature will make new messages disappear a week after they\u2019ve been sent in a chat, \u201chelping the conversation feel lighter and more private\u201d.<\/p>\n

The same will apply to media content sent in a chat, but these can be saved on a user\u2019s device if their auto-download setting is on.<\/p>\n

Messages will also disappear if a user doesn\u2019t open the app for a week.<\/p>\n

Each participant will be able to enable the ephemeral messages feature in an one-to-one correspondence, while in group conversations only admins will have the control to do so.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp\u2019s move replicates the main functionality of Snapchat, which deletes messages after they are opened or when a 24-hour time limit setting is enabled.<\/p>\n

Instagram [1] and Twitter [2] were also reportedly working on ephemeral content functions.<\/p>\n
