Key-Points
Ephemeral messaging or Disappearing messages is the mobile-to-mobile transmission of multimedia messages that automatically disappear from the recipient’s screen after the message has been viewed. The word “ephemeral” describes something that only lasts for a short period of time.
The idea of ‘ephemeral’ messages is not new, and WhatsApp is not the first app to offer this. Other encrypted messaging apps like Telegram, Signal, Wire already offer such an option.
WhatsApp says this will bring a new level of privacy to the app. By turning on disappearing messages, users will get some more control over which chats are getting saved.
