WhatsApp will soon let users share Instagram-like self-destructing media
Just recently, WhatsApp started rolling out a new update through Google Play Store to the Android beta testers. This version comes with a new image animation in the header of the disappearing messages section that defines the sense of this feature.
Now, it looks like the company is rapidly working to implement more new features in the popular messaging app. According to the latest information, WhatsApp has recently seeded a new update via Google Play Beta Program with a version number: 2.21.9.3.
Currently, this update is reaching a limited number of Android beta testers as it’s a pre-release version and its changes are still under development. Talking about revisions, the latest WhatsApp beta update brings a new feature called Self-Destructing Media.
The Facebook-owned company explains that the Self-Destructing Media feature helps users sending images and videos more privately by allowing them to view the shared file only one time and gets removed from the chat automatically from the recipients.
On the other hand, users can still take a screenshot of the received image to save it in the phone’s storage while it arrived through self-destructing media function. However, this feature is under development but WABetaInfo brought us a preview image that is attached below.

All these options are now in one place for easier to share content. This new design makes everything more accessible and reduces the number of steps needed to share content.

The new update improves the interface by integrating the call dialer into the menu for a cleaner and more organized experience.

WhatsApp is testing a new feature with the latest beta update version 2.24.26.9, which will allow users to translate chat messages and channel updates. This feature is currently under development and will be available for beta users soon.
The new translation feature will let users automatically translate all incoming messages or choose to translate specific messages individually. This will help users better understand messages written in different languages to make it easier to communicate with people from around the world.
Notably, the message translations will happen directly on your device, without sending any data to third-party services. This means WhatsApp can maintain its end-to-end encryption to ensure privacy.
The translation feature will also work offline. For that, users can download language packs in advance to allow them to translate messages even when they don’t have an internet connection.
Through this feature, WhatsApp plans to make the translation process quick and simple. But you can’t use WhatsApp fucntions without the internet like sending or receiving messages, watching status, and more. Still, you will soon be able to translate received messages offline.
However, keep in mind that the translations might not always be perfect, as they will be processed offline and may have occasional errors. Stay tuned for more updates.
