The beta version of WhatsApp has now received the update 2.21.200.11. This means that users will not only see the newly designed chat bubbles but will also receive additional options for “self-deleting messages”.
According to WABetaInfo, this new beta is being rolled out to public testers and includes some interesting changes. As some of you may remember, we already reported on redesigned chat bubbles. Now WABetaInfo has more details on this provided. They will not only get a new coat of paint but will also appear more rounded. But that's not all. WhatsApp is working on introducing useful tools to improve "self-deleting messages". From now on, users will be able to choose between different time periods, including 4 hours, 7 days or 90 days. This is how WhatsApp describes the whole thing:
WhatsApp update: New features could be introduced soon
Make messages in this chat disappear - For more privacy and storage space, all new messages in this chat will disappear for everyone after the selected duration. Anyone in the chat can change this setting.
It will also be possible to activate the "Default Message Timer" in the WhatsApp privacy settings. Then, all new chats will have the "Self-deleting messages" option activated for the selected duration, according to WABetaInfo. Since the above features are already in beta testing, it shouldn't be too long before all users get access to them. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
