WhatsApp is doing a whole lot to improve the quality of features that it offers users. Yesterday, the company announced that the WhatsApp desktop app now supports video and audio calls. According to WaBetaInfo WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows messages to self-destruct after 24 hours. This is coming after WhatsApp tested disappearing images on the platform. Recall that this feature made Snapchat very popular a couple of years ago.

If this feature is active, all messages you send will automatically disappear after 24 hours. According to reports, WhatsApp is currently testing this feature. However, there is no assurance that this feature will roll out. However, if it does, it will be similar to the already existing 7-day auto-delete feature.

 

WhatsApp is testing disappearing photos for Android and iPhone

The team at the popular messenger WhatsApp is working on a new feature designed to improve user security and privacy. Amid the ongoing scandal surrounding WhatsApp’s new privacy rules, the new feature has drawn public mockery.

 

WABetaInfo website drew attention to the development of a new function. We are talking about disappearing photos and images that can be sent in the versions of the messenger for Android and iOS.

Such photos cannot be exported or copied from the chat. However, there is no function for detecting attempts to take screenshots. The feature is not yet available to users and the exact release dates have not been named.

The new attempt to increase privacy amid the new rules that users need to adopt on March 15th caused a lot of mockeries. Members of the community of developers XDA Developers called the feature “as useless as disappearing messages”.
