WhatsApp Launches Two New Features: What You Should Know

[THREAD]

WhatsApp has announced that two new features, disappearing messages and WhatsApp pay, have been added to the messaging application and will be available to the users very soon.

The WhatsApp disappearing messages feature which automatically deletes messages after seven days will

be available this month while WhatsApp Pay has officially been launched in India.

The two features, according to WhatsApp, will be available on all WhatsApp supported operating systems that include Android, iOS, and KaiOS.

The Facebook-owned company said the goal of the new disappearing feature is “to 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.

“When the ‘disappearing messages’ feature is turned on, new messages sent to a chat will disappear after 7 days, helping the conversation feel lighter and more private,”

it said in a statement.

The company believes that “not all messages need to stick around forever.”

“We’re starting with seven days because we think it offers peace of mind that conversations aren’t permanent while remaining practical so you don’t forget

what you were chatting about.

“The shopping list or store address you received a few days ago will be there while you need it, and then disappear after you don’t,” it elaborated.

How To Enable The Disappearing Feature

– Open the WhatsApp chat.
– Tap the contact’s name.
– Tap Disappearing messages.
– If prompted, tap CONTINUE.
– Select On.

How to Disable the Disappearing Feature

– Open the WhatsApp chat.
– Tap the contact’s name.
– Tap Disappearing messages.
– If prompted, tap CONTINUE.
– Select Off.

How Does Disappearing Feature Work

According to WhatsApp, the disappearing feature which automatically deletes messages after seven days “won’t affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat.”

Why Deepening Tension, Aggravating Insecurity May Trigger Insurgency In South-East Nigeria

It is difficult to miss the signs. Ominous signals continue to dog the path of peace in communities across the Southeast states of Nigeria.

THREAD humangle.ng/why-deepening-…

A strange mix of events is tugging violently at the fabrics of peace across the zone. And the elements at play appear determined to unravel an already fragile situation. It is akin to putting life flame on dry gunpowder.

There is ample evidence that the overstretched tension in the relationship between security agencies and the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, (IPOB), a group clamouring for an independent state of Biafra out of Nigeria, is already boiling over.
