Meta-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp has a disappearing message feature where messages on the platform automatically disappear after seven days. WhatsApp Now is adding a new functionality to its Vanishing Messages feature, which will allow users to set messages to be deleted automatically after a set period of time. WhatsApp has said that users will now have the option to turn on disappearing messages automatically for all their new chats.

WhatsApp is giving users more options for how long before the message is deleted. The feature was first launched in November last year and had the option to make messages disappear after just seven days. However, now there will be an option to delete the message only after 24 hours or 90 days. The company says that turning on disappearing messages by default will not affect existing chats. When users start a new chat, they’ll get a prompt that the missing messages feature is turned on, along with a note that says it’s on by default.

There is also an option to turn off disappearing messages for each individual chat. Although the new default setting doesn’t affect group chats, WhatsApp says it has added a new option when creating groups that will let administrators enable disappearing messages.

WhatsApp says that the new feature is now available on all platforms.
