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’s new Image Search feature coming soon
WhatsApp is releasing a new beta update for Android, which reveals that the company is developing a new feature that lets users search images on the web. The fresh beta update can be identified through version 2.24.21.31.
The Search images on the web feature of WhatsApp will allow users to check the authenticity of images they receive to make it easier to spot misleading or fake content.
When a user wants to search for an image, it will be uploaded to Google, which helps them find similar images or sources online to quickly get more information.
Notably, WhatsApp ensures privacy by not storing or processing these images. While the image is sent to Google for searching, it remains private and secure.
With this new feature, users will be able to use any image, whether sent by a friend or received in a forwarded message for search on the web to verify them online.
In addition to the image search, WhatsApp is also developing a feature to check links in frequently forwarded messages to verify their authenticity.
The image search feature is currently under development and will be available in a future update. Users can expect more information soon as WhatsApp continues to enhance its platform. Stay Tuned!

WhatsApp introduces call link feature to group and individual chats
WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update with version 2.24.21.29, which comes with a handy call link feature. This update makes it easier for users to start calls in both individual and group chats.
With this new feature, users can easily generate call links without needing to go to the Calls tab. The call link shortcut is now located in the chat attachment menu. Previously, creating call links was a bit complicated since users had to go to the Calls tab to generate them.
Now, to use the Call Links feature, simply tap the attachment icon while chatting. This makes starting a call faster and more convenient since you can do it right from your ongoing conversation.
Initially, the call link feature was only available for group chats, but now it works for individual chats as well. Many people might not have known they could create call links before, but this update makes it clear and easy to use.
This call link feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store. As the update continues to roll out, more users can expect to see this feature in the coming days.
