Self-destructing messages are coming to WhatsApp soon

WhatsApp engineers have been working hard for a few months. There are few weeks that we do not hear about some news that are in development and few months in which we do not see an acceptably notable change within the application. The last one being talked about is the inclusion of messages that self-destruct, as we have seen in other instant messaging applications.

We can send text, images and even animated GIFS to any of our contacts with this new type of delivery. He will see it as a normal message but as soon as you leave the chat it will be deleted being impossible to recover them.

These types of messages will appear differently in the chat so that we know that, when we leave it, they will disappear.
