WhatsApp to turn disappearing messages options for new chats

WhatsApp is adding another privacy option, the ability to enable all of your conversation threads to auto-delete after 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days, amid continued debate about Meta's intention to deploy end-to-end encryption by default across all of its messaging apps.

According to WhatsApp: “WhatsApp users will now have the option to turn on disappearing messages by default for all new chats. When enabled, all new one-on-one chats you or another person start will be set to disappear at your chosen duration, and we've added a new option when creating a group chat that lets you turn it on for groups you create. This new feature is optional and does not change or delete any of your existing chats.”
