Beta lets users set post-read timers
WhatsApp is testing a feature that may let users pick how long a message stays visible after it's read: think five minutes, one hour, or even 12 hours.
This tweak is all about helping you feel safer sharing sensitive stuff.
The feature's still in development and will roll out to beta testers first before everyone gets it.
