According to reports, WhatsApp is now working on a new feature that lets you send messages that disappear automatically after 24 hours.
Last year, WhatsApp launched a new feature that lets you send messages that would disappear after seven days. Apparently, that’s too long for many people, so WhatsApp is now working on letting you choose between seven days and 24 hours instead.
