WhatsApp updates the Disappearing Messages feature, all private messages can be set to disappear automatically

Although features disappearing messages is enabled, WhasApp emphasizes, this feature will have no effect on messages sent before the user activates it. This means that old messages will still be there, not automatically deleted as well.

Only later after the user activates this feature, when the user starts a private chat with other users, there will be a notification that mentions the feature disappearing messages is on.

Users also still have the option to disable this feature for individual messages. Also, this default setting does not affect group chats.
