WhatsApp is working on a raw variation of its “ go away message ” feature film , which would see texts disappear immediately after being record .
While the current version of the feature enable users to set messages to disappear after 24 hours , 7 days or 90 days , that may soon alter .
According toWABetaInfo , the new feature article in testing will ensure the message disappears for the sender and the recipient role as soon as that double blue tick go far to show it has been read .
presently , WhatsApp allow users set photos and videos to see once , following in the footsteps of Snapchat . The theme is to grant for sending more sensitive info . You ca n’t send on the image and you ca n’t take a screenshot or a screen transcription of the media either . One would assume that when WhatsApp rolls out this feature to comprehend text message , the same rationale would hold .
In the trial screenshots post by WABetaInfo , recipients will see a “ textual matter expired ” notice when it has been read once . “ This text has expired , please askinsert nameto resend it , ” the message study .
The screenshot also features a lock within the green station icon , which will signify the text being a view - once message . It could be great if you ’re await to get something a minuscule piece controversial off your dresser without a digital paper trail , for instance .
At the moment , the workaround is to “ delete for everyone ” , but there ’s nothing stopping a screenshot or a forward in the interim , beyond the confidence between the sender and the receiver .
If WhatsApp clear this up , it could be a handy summation for its substance abuser .
