The use of this feature on WhatsApp is something that amazes me at times. It works as a timer to the written text, files, links and docks sent to a fellow Whatsapp user for removing them when it is been set. It has periods of 24hours (1day), 7days and 90days and whenever a message reaches this time period, the message disappears automatically with no traces.

This feature makes for more privacy. It removes the messages of bother the sender and the receiver from when it was sent according to the set timer.
At the same same time, some people prefer their chats are viewable anytime and anywhere they log into their accounts or come online, especially business men/women, reporters and other people who need information from their chats for future references.
