If you wish you had more options when it comes to how long your messages should last before they disappear, you are in luck.
According to WABetaInfo, they found out that WhatsApp is working on a new feature that includes 15 new durations. At present, WhatsApp provides three options for the duration of disappearing messages, which are 24 hours, 7 days, and 90 days. This new feature is likely to be included in a future update.
In the upcoming update, users will have the ability to select from a wider range of disappearing message durations. Specifically, users will be able to choose from 15 different options, including 1 year, 180 days, 60 days, 30 days, 21 days, 14 days, 6 days, 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, 12 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours, and 1 hour.
WABetaInfo said that the screenshot may have been taken from WhatsApp Desktop beta; however, it has been verified that WhatsApp is indeed working to introduce these new disappearing message durations in a forthcoming update of WhatsApp beta for both iOS and Android. This means that users across all platforms will have access to these extended options for configuring disappearing messages.
