WhatsApp will soon allow you to view messages that have disappeared from chat in this new folder

From last couple of weeks, the Internet has been buzzing with reports suggesting that WhatsApp is currently working on fresh features for its platform. Most of these upcoming features are designed to boost privacy and security to ensure that people can communicate on chat freely and more openly.

As per recent reports, WhatsApp is working on a new update that will let users keep disappearing messages even after they have expired. WhatsApp will start displaying a new section on the platform called 'Kept messages' which will appear within chat info.

All the messages that have disappeared can be viewed in that section and is accessible to all the people part of the conversation, according to WABetaInfo.


However, the disappearing messages cannot be starred but they can be kept.

The report mentioned that this feature is still under development, but WhatsApp is now working on introducing the feature by presenting some information about an upgrade of disappearing messages in a future update of the WhatsApp Desktop beta.

In addition, WhatsApp will let group admins limit this feature. So we can also expect some new privacy setting update by WhatsApp that allows group admins to toggle the ability to keep a disappearing message.

This feature is under development, so it is unclear when it will be released to beta testers.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also working on letting users silently exit groups without notifying other group members, except the admins. But all group members will still be able to see who leaves the group by using a feature called 'past participants'.
