WhatsApp has released a new feature that will allow users to save disappearing messages even after they have expired.
"
"
The feature which is called keep in chat is being billed as a special superpower for the sender.
"
"
If you want to keep any ephemeral chat from disappearing forever, you can now long press on it and the sender will be notified about your request.
"
"
If the sender gives a go-ahead, you’re free to keep the disappearing message for later in which case they will be highlighted with a bookmark icon and appear separately inside the “Kept Messages” folder organised by chat.

WhatsApp says keep in chat will roll out globally over the next few weeks. (Photos credit: Reuters)
