WhatsApp released Disappearing Messages last year expanding the list of privacy-related features on the platform. The company is now refining it by rolling out ‘Keep in Chat’ feature that will allow users to retain important messages even if Disappearing Messages is enabled.
Why is ‘Keep in Chat’ important
Enabling disappearing messages allows users to set messages to disappear 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days after the time they are sent. In the process, some important messages, which you may need to revisit at a later time, also get removed. In order to save those messages, such as an occasional voice note or key piece of information you want to keep, when Disappearing Messages is enabled, users can use the Keep in Chat feature.
“Today we’re introducing ‘Keep in Chat,’ so you can hang on to texts you need for later, with a special superpower for the sender. We believe if you’ve sent the message, it’s your choice whether others in the chat can keep it for later,” the company said.
‘Keep in Chat’ will roll out globally over the next few week ..
