WhatsApp has submitted the new update, bringing the version up to 2.23.8.11. The update is still under development and is not yet ready to be released to beta testers.
The new feature — known as expiring groups — will allow users to set an expiration date for the groups and once the date arrives, users will be prompted to clean up the group, said the app-tracking website.
