One of the best features of WhatsApp is temporary messages. When we send one, we are sure that it will be deleted after a certain time, which we can configure.

Temporary messages are ideal in many situations; for example, when we do not want to leave a trace of the conversation, since the messages are deleted from all cell phones that have received them. However, they also have their drawbacks, which is why WhatsApp is looking for something better.
Temporary messages that are not deleted
Although it may seem strange, the solution is to create temporary messages that are not deleted, but can be kept in the chat for as long as we want. The difference compared to a normal message is that at any time we can decide that it is no longer important and that it will be automatically deleted.
As he reveals WABetaInfo, these posts will be distinguished by a bookmark icon, which will appear next to the posting time. This will indicate that the message is temporary, but it will not be deleted because one of the users in the conversation has decided to do so.

So that means the post will be visible to all participants, and that’s the main reason why you would want something like this. For example, imagine a conversation you are having with friends and you want to make sure everyone has read what you have to say before the message is deleted; With this function, you will be able to keep the message in view even if it exceeds the time configured in the chat.
All users participating in the chat will be able to uncheck the message and it will be deleted like the others; therefore, with this feature, we cannot force other users to keep their messages in view.
This feature is still in development, but it has already appeared for some WhatsApp beta users. Therefore, it is possible that it will reach worldwide in a future app update.
