WhatsApp’s new Keep in Chat feature allows users to save disappearing messages

WhatsApp’s disappearing messages is a great privacy feature for users who want their messages to disappear after a set time. Now, the instant messaging service will allow the senders of disappearing messages to keep some of the texts they send in the chat even if the feature is turned on.

Earlier this year, it was reported that WhatsApp is testing such a “Kept Messages” feature, and now, the instant messaging service has made it official.

With disappearing messages, conversations do not stitch around forever. This acts as a layer of protection for messages that you wouldn’t want falling into the wrong hands. But what if there is a message or voice note that you want to keep in the chat despite the feature being turned on? That is where the Keep in Chat feature comes in handy.
