WhatsApp to soon add new ’90 days disappearing messages’ option
WhatsApp released the disappearing messages on Android and iOS last year, allowing users to send self-destructing messages after a while. Currently, you can only set messages to disappear after seven days. But that will change soon as WhatsApp works to add more options to the feature that will allow messages to last longer than seven days.
WhatsApp 90 days disappearing messages
Earlier, WhatsApp released a new update to the beta channel that added the 24-hour message loss option. Now, WABetainfo has seen evidence that the new 90-day option can be added to the disappearing message feature in the latest WhatsApp beta update (v2.21.9.6).

Once uninstalled, WhatsApp users will have more flexibility when sending disappearing messages and can choose between multiple options – 7 days, 24 hours, or 90 days – depending on their needs.
The 24-hour and 90-day options are not currently live in the latest version of WhatsApp but may be up for future updates. As with any new features of WhatsApp, the options for new disappearing messages may first arrive at the beta channel before everyone else does. If you want to be among the first to try it, you can join the WhatsApp beta program here.
After facing serious criticism of the controversial policy change, WhatsApp has been working hard to develop new privacy-focused features to try to restore users’ trust and gain access to their rivals Telegram and Signal. As part of this push, a Facebook-based company has recently released a media feature of “ View Once” that disappears for everyone and is working on increasing end-to-end encryption for both cloud and local backups.
Other notable features recently added to WhatsApp include improved team driving experience, high-quality photo transfer capabilities, and multi-device support. Besides, WhatsApp will soon allow you to transfer your conversations and media from iPhone to Android.
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called Chat Filters to enhance the user experience. This feature simplifies the process of navigating through messages, making it quick and effortless. With the increasing volume of messages on WhatsApp, the ability to quickly access them is important.
The Chat Filters feature of WhatsApp helps users organize their chats better and focus on the most pressing conversations. The rollout of these filters has begun and will be available to all users in the upcoming weeks.
By tapping on these filters at the top of the chat list, users can sort their messages with ease. It offers three convenient options:
All: This filter shows every message or we can say a default view of all
Unread: This filter highlights conversations that require attention, displaying both marked unread and new messages.
Groups: It contains all group conversations, including Community subgroups, in one place. This filter is much-anticipated addition for organizing all group chats.
With the introduction of the Chat Filters feature, WhatsApp aims to improve functionality and ensure users can focus on their most important messages.

WhatsApp is enhancing user engagement with a new feature that prompts users to invite their contacts to join the messaging platform. This feature appears as a banner at the top of the chat list and is part of a targeted campaign to increase the app’s user base.
It is currently available to a select group of users who have installed the latest WhatsApp updates on iOS and Android devices. The banner aims to remind users to encourage their friends and family to use WhatsApp.
This approach is especially useful in countries where WhatsApp users are less, as it serves as a visible and convenient prompt for users to invite more people to the platform. By highlighting the advantages of new features and a unified chat experience, WhatsApp is looking to attract more users and maintain its position as a leading messaging service.
The feature is expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming weeks. This new move indicates that WhatsApp wants to keep users informed and connected, using the visibility of in-app notifications.

WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android devices, which brings a redesigned drawing tool. Users can identify the latest beta update through version 2.24.9.6, available on Google Play Store
The fresh beta update shows a new design that relocates the brush and color selection tools to the bottom of the screen. This change is particularly beneficial for larger screens, where reaching the top of the screen can be inconvenient.
Additionally, WhatsApp plans to expand color choices with a palette of 24 default colors, making it easier for users to choose and apply colors quickly. By placing the drawing tool in an easy-to-access place, WhatsApp will allow users to focus less on navigating the interface and more on their creativity.
