WhatsApps disappearing messages receive new updates and renewed timelines

If you’re someone who is paranoid about your WhatsApp chats being read, worry not as Mark Zuckerberg has just announced a new feature on the app. The new feature will allow users to turn on ‘disappearing messages’ for their chats. In a span of 24 hours, all the messages on the chat will be deleted. Users can manually turn the feature on in a one-on-one chat. In fact, just a few weeks ago, we reported on how the feature will work.

How does WhatsApp's Disappearing Messags feature work?

WhatsApp released a FAQ on its website explaining how the feature will work and how it will help users. WhatsApp has been working on a Disappearing Messages feature that will allow users to send messages that will disappear after seven days. According to the FAQ posted on the website, WhatsApp says “you can send messages that disappear on WhatsApp by enabling Disappearing Messages. Once enabled, new messages sent in the individual or group chat will disappear after seven days. The most recent selection controls all messages in the chat. This setting won’t affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat.”

WhatsApp's new features

When the service was first launched, users could only delete their messages after seven days. With the new update, the disappearing messages feature can be deleted after 24 hours, a full week or even 90 days. So, it’s a little more flexible than before, giving users a little more control over their privacy. As of right now, the feature is only available on one-to-one chats but WhatsApp has stated that once you start a new group, this feature can then be implemented.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
