The meta-owned instant messaging Whatsapp is rolling out a new privacy feature update for disappearing messages.
Whatsapp is making changes in auto-save media; it is disabling the media to get saved automatically.
Whatsapp restricted media from being automatically saved to your phones gallerywhen the disappearing messages are enabled.
If your chat has enabled the disappearing messages option, the service will let you manually save media.
There are three options for disappearing chats 24 hours, 7 days, and 90 days.
Currently, the media is automatically saved in disappearing messages chat.
This change will be available for both Android and iOS users.
On Android, Whatsapp will automatically turn off the media visibility option for disappearing chats.
On iOS, the feature Save to Camera Roll will be deactivated.
So, with this, the recipients will be restricted from saving any images, videos, or GIFs.
The auto-options will be off by default.
This feature for disappearing messages was first spotted in February.
Now, Whatsapp shows a popup notification to inform users that messages are set to disappear in the chat.
The notification is seen in the media visibility setting in disappearing chats.
The notification says, For privacy reasons, media is not saved automatically to your phone.
To save the media from this chat, turn off disappearing messages.
On the latest versions of Whatsapp for Android and iOS, the feature is available in disappearing messages.
