WhatsApp is testing a new 'disappearing chats' feature. The messaging app may soon let chats vanish after just one hour. Currently, chats can disappear after 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. The new option was spotted in WhatsApp Android beta version 2.25.24.18. WhatsApp will warn users that one-hour messages might not be read in time. The feature aims to improve privacy. WhatsApp is also working on AI-powered writing help. This tool will offer different tones like professional, funny, and proofread for messages. Users can choose to keep their original text. These updates may roll out to all users in the coming months. (Updated 1 Sep 2025, 16:16 IST; source: link)
