These Samsung Phones May First Get Improved WhatsApp Disappearing Message Option

WhatsApp was recently spotted working on an improved disappearing messages feature that would allow the app to auto delete chats and media files after 90 days in addition to the 7-day option. Earlier, the Facebook-owned platform was said to be working on 24-hour disappearing message functionality as well. A new report claims that updated disappearing messages will first roll out on Samsung phones before other Android devices. According to T3, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be the first to receive the feature.

WhatsApp rolled out disappearing messages last year for privacy-concerned users. The company recently introduced a similar feature dubbed ‘View Once‘ that essentially auto deletes media files right after users open them. Meanwhile, Samsung‘s latest foldable phones are also the first Android-based devices to receive other exclusive features in collaboration with partner brands. For instance, WhatsApp has launched a new update on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 to let users transfer chats from iOS to an Android device.
