WhatsApp constantly keeps updating its software to include a bevy of features to provide smooth messaging and call experience to its users.




Adding to the list, the Facebook-owned messaging app is gradually rolling out the iOS beta version of its much-awaited disappearing messages feature, according to WABeta Info, a blog that tracks WhatsApp developments.

The blog had earlier also spotted the same feature in Android's Beta version. It also confirmed that this feature will be available for group chats and only accessible to administrators. Once available, the feature will automatically delete messages after a particular time period set by the user and make it look like the message never existed.
There is also an interesting feature that was spotted in the latest Beta version of the app. Apparently, the new Delete Message feature will work as "cleaning tool" for group chats. This essentially means that the feature will help admins remove group messages after a particular period of time and clear or manage storage space automatically.




"Groups have usually a lot of messages and this feature could help to save your phone storage, deleting old messages automatically (only administrators will be able to enable/disable it)," the blog stated.




Once available, the 'Delete Message' feature will come with a toggle on/off button and users can choose a particular time interval for the messages to automatically disappear. There are five options for time intervals to choose from - 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year. Accordingly, the messages sent to that chat will disappear. For instance, if the user opts for 1 hour time interval, the messages sent post-selection will be deleted after an hour.
However, it is important to note that the feature is not yet available yet as he company has not officially announced any release date of the update yet. Therefore, it is completely okay if you still cannot view the feature even after updating WhatsApp.




Similarly, there's also no word on Dark Mode release date either, and this feature has been under development for a long time now.

The importance of forests

Man has been cutting down forests indiscriminately and today the trend is not only to save natural forests but to create artificial ones. Deserts are made to bloom! The Imperial Valley of the Sonoran desert in southern California has been converted into a green patch which yields crops all the year round. Forests are not to be considered merely as a direct source of wealth; they are to be considered in relation to the national economy and geography. Forests serve many purposes. They hold together the soil and prevent or minimize soil erosion. The oxygen in the air is replenished by forests and plankton in the sea. Trees and plants, during photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Scientists fear that if forests are destroyed indiscriminately, there will be an increase in carbon dioxide and eventually the sun's rays will become hotter, the polar caps will melt and the ocean level rise and submerge much of our land. Vegetable mould that forests supply increases the fe...

The importance of water

Introduction  Life, both animal and plant, is impossible without water. Without water men die of dehydration About 70% of the human body is water. Of the total surface of the earth, 75 % is water and just below the surface of the land in most areas there is a saturated layer known as the water table. Animals and plants have large percentages of water in their make-up and some animals regulate their movements according to the water sources. Water: If there is no water there can be no life. The moon is a sterile desert because there is no water in it. It is to be remembered that it was water that determined the location of human settlements and without the Nile the Egyptian Civilization would not have developed The Nile provided the Egyptians facilities for irrigation and transport. As Herodotus said, Egypt is the "Gift of the Nile". Importance of water: The urban man rarely thinks of the importance of water. When he needs water, all he has to do is to turn on the tap.
