Mark Zuckerberg has just announced that the “expired” temporary messages of WhatsApp they will be available to all users in a few days. The minimum duration of such self-destructive messages will be 24 hours.
The truth is, I personally haven’t quite found it useful. We have surely never had to extract the “history” of a conversation to find specific information or an image received. Or send something specific to “put it in writing”. If we magically make our conversations disappear, I think we are losing a very important source of information. Fortunately, this deletion will be completely voluntary for the sender of the message.
Two new functions in the message duration section are about to be integrated into WhatsApp. Zuckerberg He just announced it a few hours ago, and its implementation has already started across the planet. In a few days, it will be available in the app on your device.
The first novelty refers to the fact that you can have temporary messages by default for all conversations. This means that it will no longer be necessary to configure each conversation one by one to activate this function. Any message you send to any chat will be deleted within the time you set.
And there is the second novelty: the said duration can be 24 hours, one week, three months, or leave it off and keep them forever, just like before. If you choose that from now on your messages will have an expiration date, for example 24 hours, all the participants of your conversations will know it, since they will receive a message indicating it.
This message will notify the expiration time from that point on, with a precision that indicates that this decision of yours is for all of your conversations, and that It’s not personal “ against a specific contact. Soon, available on your WhatsApp …
