Top Secret: WhatsApp Stops Saving Photos in Disappearing Messages

The WhatsApp team continues to improve the disappearing messages feature.

Top Secret: WhatsApp Stops Saving Photos in Disappearing Messages

WhatsApp officially introduced the feature of disappearing messages with photos and videos in August last year. It allows you to send media content that the recipient can view only once. However, any photos or videos that were sent in these types of chats were still stored in the phone’s memory and displayed in the gallery, which posed a privacy risk.

According to the thematic resource WABetaInfo, WhatsApp finally solved this problem by disabling the visibility of media content for such chats. This change means that photos and videos from chats with disappearing messages will not be saved and displayed in the phone’s gallery.

According to WABetaInfo, this change has begun rolling out to all users, both beta and stable versions of WhatsApp for Android and iOS.
