The arrival of temporary messages on WhatsApp has also caused featured messages to disappear from a conversation, creating a small mess that the popular messaging client wants to solve with the recording of temporary messages.
It is one of the WhatsApp innovations expected for this 2023, and which the company has been developing since May 2022 and which now seems to be much closer to the exit according to the latest beta version of whatsapp for android.
Save temporary messages in WhatsApp
The following function “Save message” will come to replace “Start message”, also changing the star message star icon and the difference in addition to the name and icon change is that users will be able to decide if they want temporary messages to be saved.
A new adjustment in the configuration of temporary messages will allow you to activate or deactivate the recording of temporary messages, with which the decision depends on the participants of the conversation and at any time they can change their minds, so if they allowed saving temporary messages, if you deactivate the option, will be deleted within the established time.
WhatsApp will show the bookmark icon in those saved messages which will outlast the rest of the temporary messages. When a temporary message cannot be saved, the bookmark button appears with an exclamation mark, warning after click that this message cannot be saved because its author has decided so. Currently, when highlighting a temporary post, we are at no time notified that it will be automatically deleted.
It’s unclear when saving temporary messages will arrive in WhatsApp, but given how advanced this feature is already, it will surely begin its testing phase in the first half of the year.
