Despite not being as popular as it was a few years ago, Snapchat still has millions of active users every month. Now the WhatsApp is getting ready to steal one of its most popular features.
Snapchat stood out from all its rivals thanks to the simplicity of its platform and innovation with messages that disappear after being seen only once, giving users a feeling of greater security. Now, according to advanced information by WABetaInfo, the messaging platform belonging to Facebook is preparing to implement identical functionality.
At the end of last year WhatsApp launched support for self-destruct messages, but the minimum time for this to happen is 7 days, guaranteed not enough for most users. This feature serves more to prevent group chats from getting totally clogged, clearing messages every X days.
Snapchat functionality is now available on WhatsApp Beta
The launch of messages that can only be seen once is now being made available to users enrolled in the WhatsApp testing program. However, it is important to emphasize that it is coming in a phased manner, so it may take a few days for it to be available to all users.
If no bugs are found during this initial phase, it is expected that they will reach all users later this month.
For users who already have access to this feature, they will be able to send this type of messages to any user. Even if they still do not have access to the functionality, the “secretism” of these messages continues to be verified.
