WhatsApp new feature: Here’s how you can ‘keep’ disappearing messages

To enable the new feature, the sender of the WhatsApp text will be alerted as and when someone keeps a message in the disappearing messages setting. Then it will be on the sender's discretion to either allow the user to save it or to veto the decision. In case of negative, the messages sent by the user will get deleted once the timer expires.

WhatsApp announced this feature via a tweet and mentioned "Some things are worth keeping." Have a look.

How will the ‘Keep in Chat' feature look like?

The saved messages in the chat will be kept with a bookmark icon, and users will be able to access these messages in the Kept Messages folder. Zuckerberg, in the announcement, said, "We hope people enjoy this new update and the flexibility to keep the messages they need." He added the feature will roll out globally over the next few weeks.

In related news, the Meta-owned app is reportedly testing a new feature that will allow users to add new description to forwarded media files including forwarded videos, images, GIFs, and documents.
