WHATSAPP: AUTOMATIC EMPTYING OF GROUP CHATS IS COMING

WhatsApp is currently working on a feature that will allow group messages to automatically delete after a set time. This way, it can seamlessly decongest the messages in groups. However, this is not a function for individual 1-to-1 chats. Presently, WhatsApp has a similar feature. As of now, you can’t go a few months back on a WhatsApp group without finding that some messages are missing. However, this upcoming feature will make the delete pattern more definite. 

WHATSAPP WILL SOON LET US AUTOMATICALLY CLEAN GROUP MESSAGES

The emphasis for this feature is “groups”. Therefore, we can assume that this feature should be seen as a cleaning tool for groups. This means that groups will no longer have to keep hundreds or thousands of messages within a few days. Sometimes, it’s scary to see over 500 messages waiting for you on a group because you’ve been out for a few days. This feature also ensure that the number of messages you see is the most recent. 

The selectable options include.

Out

1 hour

1 day

1 week

1 month

1 year

In addition, only administrators of groups can make these settings. As of now, it is not clear when the innovation will be available for WhatsApp users. WhatsApp is currently working on this in the background. There has been no official announcement yet.
