WhatsApp iOS beta on iOS now allows you to send disappearing messages | Digit

WhatsApp is bringing disappearing messages for iOS to the 2.21.140.9 beta update from Testflight. If you have the same version and yet cannot see or access the disappearing message feature, don’t panic. WhatsApp is rolling out this feature and you’ll get it in the next beta update. 

The name of the new feature is officially called “view once.” The beta testers can send photos and videos on WhatsApp that will disappear when viewed once. Both, the sender and the recipient need to have this feature in order for it to work. Meanwhile, disappearing text messages will take 7 days to expire. 

WhatsApp’s disappearing text feature is similar to Instagram’s. One key difference is that Instagram allows the user to replay photos and videos at the user’s behest. WhatsApp, on the other hand, will delete the media when viewed once, according to the official information.
