Send Disappearing Messages
Disappearing messages automatically delete themselves after a certain period of time. That way, you won’t have to worry about your message being saved or forwarded without your knowledge.
WhatsApp gives you the option of having messages disappear after 24 hours, 7 days or 90 days. You can turn it on for specific conversations with anyone you choose. Keep in mind though that the preview of the message will remain viewable in the notifications panel until you open the app, even if the time lapses for the message period.
To turn on disappearing messages, follow these steps:
Open the WhatsApp chat you want to use disappearing messages on.
Click on the contact’s name.
Click on “disappearing messages.”
Select your preferred duration.
Alternatively, if you want to enable disappearing messages for all your contacts, you can do this:
Open Settings.
Tap Account, then go to Privacy.
Select Default message timer and then select your preferred duration.
Once enabled, WhatsApp will notify you directly in the chat that the disappearing messages are turned on.
