ALL WhatsApp users should consider turning on a genius privacy feature called "message timer".
It's a clever trick to improve your privacy by destroying old WhatsApp messages
You can set Disappearing Messages to automatically turn on for all new chats – without affecting existing conversations
"We've become accustomed to leaving a digital copy of just about everything we type without even thinking about it
"It's become the equivalent of a note taker following us around making a permanent record of everything we've said
It's possible to set times for 24 hours, 7 days or 90 days "Deciding how long a message lasts should be in your hands," said WhatsApp
This is why we introduce disappearing messages last year, and more recently a way for photos and videos to immediately disappear
The feature is available right now, so update to the latest version of WhatsApp to try it
