Description
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new feature in WhatsApp that will allow people in a chat with disappearing messages to save them when they need it most. Messages, conversations shouldn't linger indefinitely, and neither should in-person chats. WhatsApp says that this added layer of privacy will prevent messages from falling into the wrong hands. The feature is rolling out so users can save the texts they need for later, with a special "super power" for the sender.

If the user decides that the message cannot be kept by others and the decision is final, no one else can keep it and the message will be deleted when the time expires. This means that the user has the last word on how the messages sent are protected.
On the other hand, messages saved in WhatsApp will be noted with a bookmark icon and can be viewed, organized by chat, in the Saved Messages folder. This feature will roll out globally in the coming weeks.
