Suggestions.
One of the proposed suggestions was how users would be able to share content in a permanent way. It will also include missing messages. The company is also working to integrate WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger.
The company’s rival messaging app, which was inspired by Facebook’s introduction of a number of features, was based on the principle of missing messages.
Ingrid London, a journalist working for TechCrunch, tweeted: “It’s amazing that WhatsApp took so long to introduce this feature. Because it lost the status option, which disappears in a day. It was introduced by TechCrunch in 2017. But WhatsApp introduces this new feature after the time of so long delay.
