WASHINGTON: Facebook-owned WhatsApp said Thursday (Nov 5) it would introduce disappearing messages on WhatsApp, a move ramping up its challenge to rival Snapchat. The messaging service used by more than two billion people globally said it would enable people to choose whether to keep their messages or allow them to delete themselves after seven days. "Today, WhatsApp messages often live on our phones forever. While it's great to hold onto memories from friends and family, most of what we send doesn't need to be everlasting," a WhatsApp blog post said. "Our goal is make conversations on WhatsApp feel as close to in-person as possible, which means they shouldn't have to stick around forever. That's why we're excited to introduce the option to use disappearing messages on WhatsApp." Facebook previously introduced a similar option for its Messenger platform, following on the heels of Snapchat, which has amassed a strong following among young smartphone users. WhatsApp chose a seven-day window "because we think it offers peace of mind that conversations aren't permanent, while remaining practical so you don't forget what you were chatting about," the blog post said. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/whatsapp-disappearing-messages-facebook-snapchat-13473438

Hi, I was clearing up my messages and I was wondering.. Is it just me who clear the message every once in a while or is everyone the same? For those who don't clear at all, please do so hor... Helps to free up some space..

To MCF members, U might have noticed that we have a messaging feature (middle button on top navigation bar), it's for sending private messages to individual members. Only the member specified by the sender will receive the message, this is useful for exchanging information that members do not wish to post publicly on the forums. Do try the feature out with your friends or send a test message to admin. Thank you
