New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp on Friday introduced a 'Keep in Chat' feature that will allow users in a disappearing message thread to long-press a message and choose to save it.
WhatsApp has called this "sender superpower," and it will be the choice of the sender to allow others in the chat to keep certain messages for later. "Anyone in a disappearing message thread can long press on a message to keep it. The sender will be notified if it was saved and can decide if it stays or remains a disappearing message," Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. While this extra layer of privacy protects messages from falling into the wrong hands, sometimes there's that occasional voice note or key piece of information you want to keep. To make this work, the sender will be notified when someone keeps a message, and the sender will have the ability to veto the decision.
