WhatsApp has in the past changed this features name multiple times from Disappearing Messages to Delete Messages and finally its now now called Expiring Messages.
At first, this feature was only available for Groups but WhatsApp later decided to add the feature for individual chats too.
Another feature the Facebook owned messaging service is working on is the ability for users to use WhatsApp on multiple device at the same time. That is, users will be able to sign in one account into multiple gadgets like your phone and tablet without being kicked out of the other device.
The third change is that WhatsApp will reduce the length of videos on statuses from 30 seconds to 15 seconds so as to reduce the traffic on their servers which has heavily increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WhatsApp status should return back to normal at the end of the coronavirus crises.
