WhatsApp to Roll Out Disappearing Messages
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) announced today that WhatsApp, its popular text and voice messaging app, will launch a new feature in the coming weeks that can be set to automatically delete conversations after a week. The feature will be off by default, but once the disappearing-messages feature is turned on, any new conversations in the chat will disappear after seven days. The feature will also dispose of photos and videos after a week. Other apps like Instagram already offer similar options.
The announcement, which appeared in the WhatsApp blog, said, "We're starting with seven days because we think it offers peace of mind that conversations aren't permanent, while remaining practical so you don't forget what you were chatting about."
