Because if you activate this function, the chat or chat will be deleted on the seventh day.
“In an individual chat, each party can activate or deactivate the temporary message function. In a group chat, only the administrator has the control to activate and deactivate the temporary message function,” WhatsApp said in an official statement on Friday ( 11/13/2020).
