In today’s article, we are going to see how to send self-destructing messages on WhatsApp with this easy trick; thanks to which in a few seconds you can configure your messages so that they are deleted in the period of time you want.
WhatsApp has many interesting tricks such as saving and deleting stickers, something that is extremely useful and above all fun. Who does not like stickers? Leaving this aside, one of the options we have is to be able to send messages that delete themselves after a while, which we can configure ourselves.
What you should keep in mind is that we are going to need to use an app called Kaboom and that the messages we send are not really from WhatsApp, but are through this application. But this will allow WhatsApp messages to self-destruct.
But we must settle, at least for now, with these kinds of solutions that are not too practical but have their positive side as we will comment a little below.
Send self-destructing messages on WhatsApp
Many times we want to delete messages sent by mistake on WhatsApp, and this app allows us to do it easily. The steps to follow are:
- The first thing you will have to do is install the Kaboom application which is available for both Android and iOS.
- Once you have the application installed you will have to open it.
- Now you are going to have to write a message, you can attach a photo too.
- After this, you will be able to select the time you want the other person to have to read the message before it is destroyed. You can even set it to be visible two or three times so you can send it to more people.
- Now what you are going to have to do is share the message on WhatsApp. The way Kaboom works is actually to send a link through the app. The other person must open the link and can view the message.
- This to some extent is a good thing, since it allows us to send a link with a self-destructing message from any application; whether it is Instagram, Messenger or WhatsApp.
- Likewise, you must be very careful, since there is no way to know if the user you are sending the message to is cautious and decides to take a screenshot. In this case, even though the message destroys itself, we cannot control what happens to that person’s device.
How to send self-destructing messages on WhatsApp
In turn, Kaboom gives us the ability to manage the messages sent. This way you will know what message you sent, when you created it, the expiration time, etc. This allows us to have everything much more organized when deleting messages on WhatsApp.
We know that this is not the ideal solution. However, WhatsApp does not have this option, unlike other apps like Telegram, which allows us to delete messages after X amount of time.
On the other hand, there are certain options that can allow us to delete WhatsApp messages after the time limit, and we encourage you to discover them if you wish.
If you still have any questions about how to send messages that delete themselves or self-destruct on WhatsApp, you can leave it a little further down in the comment box. Even if you know of another method to send messages that delete or delete themselves after X amount of time, it’s welcome.
At the end of the day, the idea is to help each other to achieve what we want.
