These features, which are currently part of the standalone Messenger app, were originally spun out of the company's main app in 2011 and officially removed in 2014.
The new Limits feature of the Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform once turned on, will automatically hide comments and DM requests from people who don't follow the user or who only recently followed them.
The new feature should help address one of WhatsApp's most frustrating elements, which is that it's never been officially possible to transfer chat history between mobile operating systems.
It will delete photos or videos from users' chats after they have been opened by the recipient.
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 4 is also compatible with different operating systems including Android and iOS.
This change will come into effect from September 27.
Though the maximum number of people able to participate and broadcast to the video call remains at 30, you can have quite the audience now for "anything from online lectures to live rap battles," according to the company.
These products all fall under one umbrella – Super Device products.
Instagram earlier supported Reels up to 30 seconds only, while its competitor TikTok recently expanded its limit to three minutes for all creators.
There is no word on when these new sign-in options will be rolling out to users, but since it is in beta, it might not be too long until the users will begin seeing it ready for the main app.
As per The Verge, this new joinable calls feature starts rolling out on Monday
The new feature is similar to snaps on Snapchat, and according to Mashable, the attached images or videos will disappear after being viewed, which may prove good for confidential business-related chats.
