As you might know, WhatsApp Beta for Android v2.20.201.1 was released on the Google Play Store. Like always, Wabetainfo looked closely for potential upcoming features in the new Beta version and they have found some.

According to Wabetainfo, the Expiring Media is an extension of the Expiring Messages feature.

Here’s How This Whatsapp Feature Will Work:

Whenever you send an expiring media whether its an image, video or a GIF, the media will automatically delete from the recipient’s phone, once he leaves the chat.

When Whatsapp adds this new feature to its application, a button for this specific fuction will  be added.

Furthermore, there is no time as the media sent will completely disappear after viewing it. “Expiring media will appear in a different way in the conversation, so you can easily understand that the image is going to expire,” Wabetainfo further explained the upcoming feature.
