The developers of WhatsApp are currently working on the implementation of an ephemeral mode.
Once activated, this feature makes it possible to delete all the messages exchanged after a certain time, reports the specialized media
WABetaInfo
.
This feature already exists on the messaging app, but users who want to use it must manually enable it for each contact or group.
By activating ephemeral mode, all the messages exchanged on the platform will be deleted after a certain period of time.
This will therefore apply to text messages but also to photos and videos, specifies

Still in the testing phase
When this feature is rolled out to all WhatsApp users, however, it will not be enabled by default.
You will then have to go to the privacy settings of the application to activate the ephemeral mode.
For now, this ephemeral mode is still only in the testing phase, users of this platform will therefore have to wait to see it arrive on their Android and iOS devices.
With the development of new features of this type, WhatsApp hopes to make people forget the recent controversies over the change of its general conditions of use, which aims in particular to authorize the sharing of certain data with the Facebook parent company.
