The feature is now available to some beta testers on WhatsApp for Android and iOS. Nevertheless, group admins can restrict who can use the feature within their group settings.
“It is now possible to prevent the expiration of certain disappearing messages by using the keep action. All those messages are marked by using a bookmark icon within the chat bubble and are listed within the section kept messages,” WABetaInfo said.
According to WABetaInfo, the feature might have some limitations. Users may not be able to retain a message from disappearing sent 50 days ago.
