WhatsApp working on messages that disappear once you’ve read them
Summary
WhatsApp is testing a new disappearing-messages option that makes messages vanish after the recipient reads them. Users can set messages to disappear 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 12 hours after reading, while unread messages still expire after 24 hours by default. The feature currently appears in the iOS TestFlight beta and in WhatsApp's Android beta, and may reach a broader release soon. WhatsApp positions disappearing messages as a privacy tool and a way to reduce device storage use.
