WhatsApp groups are practical, comfortable, but they also tend
to accumulate constantly and annoyingly
on the phone.
The big problem is that, after going back and forth, communication is cut off and many of them
are left floating in oblivion
.
Many groups are created just for certain events or celebrations.
Once that date arrives, they
stop making sense
, despite the fact that almost no user leaves it.
To give these infrequent groups a closing point, WhatsApp is testing a new function to remember that, after a certain period of quiet, it
will be necessary to delete them
.
The objective of this update is that, once the
expiration date
arrives , it will be deleted,
including all files that have been sent
, if they have not been previously saved.
In this way, WhatsApp seeks to save storage space on the devices.
How to remove WhatsApp groups.
At the moment
this new WhatsApp function is not operational
.
The information about it, such as the relevant catches, was provided by the portal to WABetaInfo.
In the beta for iPhone, version 23.5.0.71, a button called "Expiring Groups", or "
expiring groups
" was detected
.
When you click on this function, a screen appears that allows you to choose how much time you want to give the group margin.
The default options are: one day, one week or
renew expiration date
, but you can also define a custom date.
Then, when the term expires, WhatsApp will notify you to renew the term or remove it from the application.

Meta plans to give a place of relevance to another communication format, beyond chats and video calls.
Thus, it would be in full development of a function that allows its more than 2,100 million users
to subscribe to newsletters
worldwide and without the need to leave the application.
According to the website specialized in the messenger, WaBetaInfo, in the source code of the latest version for developers (beta) there is a hidden function to
subscribe to this class of articles
;
although it is not yet available even for users of the Beta of the app.
Once this new feature reaches the stable version of the messaging service, users will have the ability to
create newsletters
to share information with those who subscribe directly within WhatsApp.
According to the leak, it will even be possible to search for users within the app through the code names or pseudonyms they choose and, thus, find various types of content and subscribe to them.
Apparently, these newsletters will be found in the WhatsApp "States" tab, in their own category, and will appear in chronological order as they are published by their creators.
For now, it is not clear if this type of content will have advertisements or any type of monetization for the creators.
However, this could change once it is finally incorporated into WhatsApp.
In this way, WhatsApp continues with the development of more functions that complete it beyond a simple instant messaging application, like its Chinese counterpart WeChat, one that, by the way, has messaging, a social network, and even mobile payments.
