WhatsApp for Android will get a new icon for saved temporary messages
A temporary message that is stored will not be instantly removed. And will remain seen by all users in the chat. However, users, who retain full control over the conversation can delete the message and leave no trace behind.
Users will be able to detect that a temporary message has been stored. By looking for the bookmark icon in the message box, as seen in the figure below. This icon will serve as a visual cue that the message will remain in the chat after the delay period.
