Whatsapp Images Will Be Automatically Removed From The Chat: How This New Feature Will Work?

After disappearing messages, WhatsApp is now testing the disappearing photos feature. Apparently, this feature will be introduced in the app soon enough.

Read on to find out how the disappearing photos feature will work, right here!

Whatsapp To Roll Out Disappearing Photos Feature

WABetaInfo, the platform that reveals new and upcoming features of the popular social media platform, WhatsApp, has now announced a new feature – disappearing photos. WaBetaInfo has now shared the screenshots of the feature which reveals that a photo will disappear after it has been received by the user and leaves the chat.

WhatsApp is reportedly testing the disappearing photos feature and the screenshot clearly states that if you want to send a disappearing photo, you need to choose photos from the gallery of your phone. Once the photos have been selected, you will have to select the clock-like icon; this icon will be displayed near the “Add a caption” bar. 

This will directly send the disappearing photos to the contact that you want to send it to. 

Will Disappearing Photos Feature Work Like Instagram’s Feature?

The new disappearing photos feature works exactly like Instagram, which also enables us to send self-destructing photos. Once this disappearing photo or video has been sent on Instagram, it will disappear after the recipient opens the message. This message will no longer be visible in their inbox unless the sender has allowed a replay of the same.

As per WaBetaInfo, we wont be able to export or save self-destruct photos from WhatsApp. This means that a WhatsApp user will not have the option to save the disappearing photo in their phone or forward them to other contacts. However, the screenshot detection feature hasn’t been implemented for self-destructing photos.

Reports are that WhatApp “doesn’t really like the idea” of screenshot detection. However, the stable update might come with this detection feature, as revealed by WaBetaInfo. As per reports, WhatsApp will release the disappearing photos feature for both iOS and Android users.
