Expiring media will be useful for many of the WhatsApp users as it will not burden the phone’s memory and will save the user’s time as he/she will not have to go to the gallery to delete certain media files saved via WhatsApp.

The new feature has not come to the WhatsApp’s beta version yet. However, the feature will come with a dedicated timer button. Users will have to tap that button after they download a media file in a chat window. By tapping on the timer, the expiration process will be enabled for that selected media file.

The report stated that the feature is currently in its initial development phase for Android, but this new feature will soon be introduced for iOs.
