Just do a little research on the net to discover the eternal rivalry between Telegram and Whatsapp, the latter certainly most used in terms of users, but perhaps too far behind with some interesting functions that the rival messaging app offers since early versions. Well, then, after so much testing, the famous ones have arrived to send self-destructive messages, which will disappear after a certain time from sending.
Apparently the new feature will be available not only for Android and iOS but also for the desktop and web version of the messenger and also in the app for KaiOS. After activating the feature, messages sent in an individual or group chat will disappear after seven days.
WhatsApp: Incoming self-destructive messages that will disappear after seven days
In the first test phase it was possible to define the number of days in which to view the message before its self-destruction, but apparently the Whatsapp staff preferred to limit the option to just seven days. Of course we could send all sorts of messages, including voice, photos and videos, but also documents, but in this case if the option to automatically save the media in the gallery is enabled, obviously what is sent will still remain on the memory of our interlocutor's phone.
If a contact does not open WhatsApp for seven days, the message will disappear even if it has not been displayed, but if you are particularly concerned about privacy, Whatsapp is not for you, in fact no precautionary measures have been introduced regarding self-destructive messages , which can still be viewed by taking a screenshot.
I don't know about you, but I still prefer Telegram and the many and boundless functions offered.
