WhatsApp for iOS just released version 2.21.200.11 update to beta users.
With that, users will only see redesigned chat bubbles but even more about
how the Disappearing Messages feature will work.

According to always reliable
<https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-messenger-beta-for-ios-2-21-200-11-whats-ne
w/> WABetaInfo, this new beta is rolling out for public testers and brings
some interesting new changes for WhatsApp. For example, we have already
covered the
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/05/whatsapp-for-ios-working-on-a-redesigned-cha
t-bubbles/> new colors of the redesigned chat bubbles. Now, WABetaInfo gives
us a closer look at this.

Comparing the old chat bubble with the new one, you see rounded, larger, and
more colorful chat bubbles. The publication also shares the exact color of
the old and new chat 

 

Not only that, but WhatsApp is also rolling out useful tools to manage
disappearing messages. According to
<https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-is-rolling-out-new-features-for-disappearin
g-messages/> WABetaInfo, the app now lets you choose between different
durations: 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days.

Here’s how WhatsApp describes how this feature works:

Make messages in this chat disappear

For more privacy and storage, all new messages will disappear from this chat
for everyone after the selected duration. Anyone in the chat can change this
setting.

It’ll be also possible to enable “Default Message Timer” within WhatsApp
Privacy Settings. With that, all new chats will start with the disappearing
messages option enabled for the selected duration, as noted by WABetaInfo.

All of these features are currently in beta but will probably not take long
for WhatsApp to start rolling them out to all users. Another thing users are
eager for the app to launch is multi-device support as well as the ability
to migrate the chat from iOS to Android and vice-versa.
