After circulating the dark mode to all users of the application, WhatsApp continues its endless process of improvement bringing back into vogue a feature already available for years in the competing apps: the automatic deletion of messages.
In the beta versions 2.20.83 and 2.20.84 of WhatsApp the possibility of setting a countdown for the automatic deletion of messages in traditional conversations has reappeared. Already glimpsed in the past, more recently it seemed that WhatsApp had decided to reserve this function only for group chats, while now the plans may have changed again.
WhatsApp: the self-destruction of messages is coming soon
As you can see from the pictures, in the menu dedicated to two-party conversations, the item relating to the self-destruction of messages has reappeared, with timers that can be set from a minimum to 1 hour to a maximum of 1 year. Once the function is activated, a clock icon will appear next to the sending time, in order to underline that the message will be destined for self-destruction, after the pre-set period of time has elapsed.
