WhatsApp is known as the most popular messaging platform, but it does not fall short of some annoying problems. Although the platform added many new features, it still could not solve many problems. One of the biggest problems people have with disappearing messages was that images sent and received during chat were automatically saved in their galleries.
WhatsApp users think that media files sent and received on the platform will fill up the internal storage on their device. According to recent reports, WhatsApp plans to fix this problem. With the update to the last beta version, the platform changes the way lost messages and media are saved on your device.
WhatsApp brings option to save media manually
The new version of WhatsApp that some users are trying does not automatically save media files while the disappearing messages session is active. It seems that this update is due to the privacy emerging from the disappearing messages feature.
The main reason users choose disappearing messages is to keep messages sent during chat private. Despite all this, the automatic saving of the media sent during the chat to the device defeats this purpose. WhatsApp is finally eliminating this problem.
Most of the media received or sent during the lost chat may turn out to be useless afterwards. Therefore, the platform offers users the option to store and download manually. Actually, this feature is available for some iOS users; Android users have to wait a bit to get the new feature.
In short, this improvement means that images and videos from chats with disappearing messages will not appear in your gallery even if the media visibility option is turned on. According to WABetaInfo, these innovations will be available to general build members and those in Beta within 24 hours. This highly anticipated development can also provide a solution to WhatsApp’s long-standing problems.
