WhatsApp allows more flexibility: Update brings major innovations

WhatsApp is constantly working on improvements for the Messenger app. In the beta version 2.22.7.4 for Android there is now a practical innovation for self-deleting messages, such as “WABetaInfo” reported. If necessary, the deletion can now be suspended.

If self-deleting messages are enabled in a conversation, they will disappear from the chat after a period of time. This ensures more privacy. In group chats in particular, however, it can sometimes be necessary for a message to remain visible for longer.

With the latest update, you can now select individual messages and exclude them from deletion if required. It will then not disappear until the exception is lifted.

New WhatsApp feature: Release could be a long time coming

This is what the new WhatsApp feature will look like.

So far, you can only keep self-deleting messages via a relatively cumbersome way. To do this, first deactivate the function. The message in question is then forwarded to the same chat as a regular message. Finally, activate the self-deleting messages again. The new feature simplifies this procedure.

It will probably take some time before the new feature comes into the regular WhatsApp version. The feature is currently still under development and is not yet available to all beta testers. A few things can change before the release.
