WhatsApp to introduce disappearing messages

[micromachine]

Facebook-owned WhatsApp said on Thursday (Nov 5) it would introduce disappearing messages on WhatsApp, a move ramping up its challenge to rival Snapchat.

The messaging service used by more than two billion people globally said it would enable people to choose whether to keep their messages or allow them to delete themselves after seven days.

"Today, WhatsApp messages often live on our phones forever. While it’s great to hold onto memories from friends and family, most of what we send doesn’t need to be everlasting," a WhatsApp blog post said.

"Our goal is make conversations on WhatsApp feel as close to in-person as possible, which means they shouldn't have to stick around forever. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the option to use disappearing messages on WhatsApp."
