WhatsApp is developing new disappearing message timer options for the web client that will allow users to choose shorter expiration durations. This update aims to improve flexibility and message control on WhatsApp Web, while ensuring that temporary conversations remain easy to manage and aligned with privacy needs.

WhatsApp is working on bringing the Updates tab to the web client in the future, unifying status updates and channels in a single interface similar to the mobile apps. This update will allow users to view and manage both status updates and channels directly from their browser in the same tab, providing a consistent experience across devices.
