WhatsApp introduces 'Keep in Chat': a new feature that allows users to save important messages for future reference

WhatsApp has announced the introduction of its latest feature, "Keep in Chat." This feature allows users to save important messages for future reference. However, the sender of the message has the power to decide whether other members of the chat can keep the message or not. If the sender decides that the message cannot be saved, it will be automatically deleted when the timer expires.

The "Keep in Chat" feature comes with an added layer of privacy that allows users to control who can keep their messages. The sender will receive a notification when someone saves their message and can veto the decision. This feature is particularly useful in group chats where users can now save important messages without fear of breaching anyone's privacy.

The saved messages will be marked with a bookmark icon and can be found in the "Kept Messages" folder. This new feature will be rolled out globally over the next few weeks. WhatsApp continues to introduce features that enhance its user experience, and the "Keep in Chat" feature is one of them.

Our take: "Keep in Chat" feature from sounds like a helpful addition for users who want to save important messages for future reference. It's also a good thing that the sender can decide if want to allow it or not, so users have more control over their conversations and can protect their privacy.
