Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – WhatsApp finally introduced the temporary message function. This feature will allow WhatsApp messages to be deleted automatically after 7 days. This feature will launch this month for Android, Apple iOS, KaiOS, and desktop users.
With this feature, you should not be afraid that important and secret WhatsApp chats will be read and quoted by irresponsible people. This feature will also relieve your mobile phone storage space. Understandably, if the chat is not deleted, the data is stored in the storage room, which can slow down the performance of the mobile phone.
“In an individual chat, each party can activate or deactivate the temporary message function. In a group chat, only the administrator has control of activating and deactivating the message function,” WhatsApp said in an official statement on Friday (11 / 05/2020).
WhatsApp explained that if a temporary message is forwarded to a chat that disables the temporary message feature, the message will not be lost in the forwarded chat.
“If a user creates a backup before the message is lost, a temporary message will be included in the backup. The temporary message will be deleted when the user restores from the backup,” WhatsApp said.
