According to the report, the new feature will be an addition to the platform and not replace the existing option of erasing messages after seven days.
Users will be able to select the 24-hour disappearing messages option, the seven-day disappearing messages option, or opt out of the disappearing messages feature entirely. The feature applies to both personal conversations and group chats.
WAbetainfo reported that the feature is under development and will be rolled out for Android, iOS, and desktop users in a future update.
