WhatsApp technology will allow uploading audio as status
WhatsApp
is rolling out a new feature that will allow you to configure several
existing
temporary chats simultaneously, an option that began testing a few months ago and which can be accessed
by clicking on one of the chats
and selecting several at the same time.
The app introduced
temporary chats
, which disappear after a certain time (initially 7 days) in November 2020, and a year later integrated
new options
within temporary messages.
Among them, a function that allowed users to
establish complete chats
with this configuration and with different time limits stood out, since two new durations were presented:
24 hours and 90 days.
Currently, this instant messaging service offers several options to activate
temporary messages
, both in conversations with another contact and in group conversations.
In both cases, these messages are configured
individually
, in the section of each chat.
As stated by the company in its Help Service, both in
individual and group chats
, any of the participants can activate or deactivate
temporary messages.
change settings
However, in the latter, those who administer them can
change the settings
to allow only administrators to
activate or deactivate
that option.
WhatsApp
also allows you to set this mode for all newly created individual chats, through the
Settings or Settings
menu , both on iOS and Android.
Some of the latest developments around
temporary chats
were revealed in May, when WABetaInfo found that WhatsApp was planning to introduce a tool to
select existing conversations
and make them temporary despite not having been started in this mode.
Then, it was also indicated that this change could be
extended to several chats simultaneously
since, when clicking on one of the chats, the application allowed several to be selected at the same time to turn them into
temporary conversations.
Now this same portal has warned that
is deploying this latest function in version 2.22.16.8 of the messaging application for
Android
, launched through the Google Play Beta Program.
The new button, located in the
'Temporary messages'
section , offers users the opportunity to apply a
message timer in several chats at the same time
without doing it from the options of each chat, that is, one by one.
At the moment, this shortcut is only available for
beta version testers
, although it is expected to arrive through a new update for
all users
of the application soon.
