Meta-owned instant messaging platform, WhatsApp introduced Disappearing messages back in 2020 to make conversations more private,

[{"selector":"#anim-a27adbac-7661-47b6-966d-488a30124c46","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc30f6e1-cb14-496b-9e12-8e6342d57d9f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As per the WABetaInfo report, WhatsApp is experimenting with a feature that would allow you to stop some of those messages from disappearing.

[{"selector":"#anim-746889da-d6a4-404f-baa3-573e073bf460","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0ca286e2-10d7-46ec-8bab-0f0e1911929e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It would give an option to save messages from typically disappearing conversations.

[{"selector":"#anim-69ac0d1d-2272-491f-b352-fe2a20dafb50","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a82e70f4-aa5b-42b6-aeb6-5ab2e5459d79","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 223.24390%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This may be helpful if someone sends essential information, such as an address that you may want to reference at a later date.

[{"selector":"#anim-ed0a674d-a6df-497a-99f1-ce5866008cf0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c4dcebce-520a-4d79-8e23-b16323823059","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This feature has been referenced in a previous beta for WhatsApp, and the latest development is the introduction of a section to access previously saved messages.

[{"selector":"#anim-61b9db14-0420-4cd1-9573-f8724e2ba7d5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-21278b8c-2af4-484f-9c7b-d31045efe277","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The screenshot in this latest report shows a section in the Contact Info section that says "Kept Messages."

[{"selector":"#anim-6cabbd8d-acf6-45e3-b202-83286ce2add7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-046e92d1-8a48-44c4-8036-166b26acf443","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This seems to be a place where you can view those saved messages, and then you can reread them at a later date.

[{"selector":"#anim-3e9762a9-8d15-4439-ae8e-1aa6eda74a4a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66662342-f024-42fd-b0ba-6bc46e9af40b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The screenshot is from WhatsApp Web, but the source of this news claims it will also be available on future betas of both the Android and iOS apps.

[{"selector":"#anim-e278b4e4-8557-4d55-8d01-dd63b8736bb0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-290e697e-8c84-4385-be2f-bf5a009b4f69","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

There's no clear sign of when this feature will debut properly within WhatsApp. This likely means it'll be a bit of a wait until you can use this within the messaging app.

[{"selector":"#anim-e8dd89fc-72d5-4d07-bc36-2321212e01ba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-823a6c00-7213-4b84-95b2-2b8582899b1e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
