WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow users to prevent some messages from disappearing in a possible future version of WhatsApp. This feature will allow users to save chat messages even if the disappearing messages feature is enabled, WhatsApp Tracker WABetaInfo reported.
In early March, the feature was spotted in WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.9.0.72 and WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.7.4. However, this time a new development is seen. According to the screenshot shared by WABetainfo, a new section is seen within Contact Information and Group Information that lists all the saved messages from the chats that disappear. WhatsApp looks to add the new section for users to easily access saved messages and read them later. According to the report, the same section is also being developed for WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS and we will be ready soon.
The new keep messages feature is still under development and its release date is currently unclear. However, the initial release of the feature in beta builds indicates an imminent release in future builds.
WhatsApp introduced the disappearing messages feature in 2021. To improve privacy, the feature allows users to send messages that will disappear after the selected time. Initially, messages that disappeared were deleted after 7 days. Later, the option to automatically delete the message after 24 hours or 90 days was introduced.
According to a report by the Times of India, WhatsApp will soon allow users to access the disappearing messages feature through a new shortcut that will appear when multiple chats are selected. With this, users will be able to enable/disable disappearing messages for multiple chats at once instead of toggling for each chat at a time individually. This feature is also under development and may be released soon.
