Helpful message bookmarking

The new emojis, however, aren’t the only thing intriguing about this new beta. As shown in the screenshot above, users can identify a saved message in WhatsApp by looking for the bookmark icon that appears in the message bubble of disappearing messages. This icon indicates that the disappearing message has been “kept” and will not disappear from the chat, even if the feature is turned on and the message has already expired. This feature allows users to easily distinguish between saved messages and regular messages that disappear within the chat. It is important to note that all participants in the conversation have the ability to delete these messages at any time.
