REDESIGNED DISAPPEARING MESSAGES SECTION

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.24.9 update, we shared news about a new interface for a section of the app: disappearing messages. Thanks to this interface, WhatsApp is making it easier for users to select which conversations to apply the default message timer to.
But what’s new in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.1.0.72 update? WhatsApp is introducing another fix for the crash that could happen on the previous beta version, but the same interface visible on WhatsApp beta for Android is also available to some beta testers:

As you can see in this screenshot, a new interface for the disappearing messages section is finally available. To discover if the new interface is already enabled on your account, just open WhatsApp Settings > Privacy > Disappearing messages. In this section, you can also configure the default message timer that will automatically set up your new chats to disappearing threads. In addition, you can easily convert multiple conversations to disappearing chats.

The updated interface for the disappearing messages section is available for some beta testers that install the latest update from the TestFlight app, and it is also available on WhatsApp Business beta, and it is widely rolling out to even more people in the coming days.
