Several popular messaging applications, such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Signal, offer “self-destructing messages.” You can set a timer for messages in conversations with others that will disappear after the specified time.

This feature may appear in WhatsApp soon. According to a report by WABetaInfo, the company is testing the disappearing message in the test version 2.19.275 of its Android app.

The site found the disappearing messaging feature in WhatsApp’s group chat settings. It allows you to set the destruction timer to five seconds or one hour.

Disappearing messages are a nice feature when you want to send sensitive information to someone and don’t want to leave any correspondence.
