“In this section, all kept messages will be listed so everyone in the conversation can easily find them in the future,” WABetaInfo said in its report.
“In addition, when it becomes possible to keep messages from disappearing, the ability to mark messages as starred and the starred messages section within chat info will be removed for disappearing chats,” WABetaInfo added.
The feature is available for select beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android. According to WABetaInfo, the rollout will expand to more users in the coming days.
