You simply need to open the app\u2019s settings by tapping your initials in the top corner. From there, touch \u201cPrivacy,\u201d then \u201cDefault Timer for New Chats\u201d under the Disappearing Messages section.<\/p>\n<p>Once in the Disappearing Messages setting, you can choose one of the pre-listed times, or you can tap \u201cCustom Time\u201d and set your messages to delete after as little as one second (though we\u2019re not sure how that would be useful) to as long as six weeks.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Would_You_Want_Disappearing_Messages\"><\/span>Why Would You Want Disappearing Messages?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might be wondering why Signal would give you the option to turn this feature on by default. It\u2019s not meant for sending messages to someone you hate, as they can still take a photo of the message with another camera. Instead, the feature is designed to reduce the amount of storage space your messages take up. As a nice bonus, it keeps your conversations nice and tidy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
