WhatsApp's new update will allow users to delete photos and videos posted in chat from their contact's phone.
Dubbed The Expiring Media feature, WaBetaInfo reports that it works by causing the image, video, or even a GIF, to disappear after it's been sent.
The user simply has to select the "view once" button when sending content, which means it will only be viewable within the chat.
A message will then appear which reads: "This media will disappear once you leave this chat."
It's still currently in the development stages for the beta for the Android 2.20.2011 version of the messaging app.
There is no official word from WhatsApp as of yet.
Last week, it was reported that the app's new multi-device feature is in the final stages of testing.
Linked Devices will enable multiple devices to log into the app using the same account.
The multi-device Beta will mean that there is "no internet connection required".
WABetaInfo also claimed that users will be able to use four devices at once when the Linked Devices feature arrives and you won't be required to have your phone switched on.
The site stated that: "WhatsApp is actually planning a new modern UI for the desktop client, showing how the chat history is migrated from your device and that the process is end-to-end encrypted."
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger could be set to merge.
A new update was hidden in code for Messenger which would enable users to speak to friends on WhatsApp without downloading the latter app.
However, it's not known when the merge would take place and it could take some time, as it's a "complicated" process.
A tech leaker said: "The integration of WhatsApp into Facebook Messenger isn't available yet.
"This is a very complicated feature and it requires time. We've no idea if the plan to merge those services will continue or if it will be abandoned."
In April, Facebook launched a new cross-platform app called Messenger Rooms, which allows users on a range of apps, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram to speak together in one place.
