There is a new menu option in the group setting for disappearing messages where you can simply set any expiration time that you want. In addition, groups got a new description field that also accepts emojis.

### What's new?

> ★ Lay out the welcome mat by adding a description to your groups. We know some things are difficult to put into words, so maybe start with an emoji 👋.  
> ★ Letting go can be hard, but our new custom disappearing timer can help you find a little more time to process those fleeting messages before they're gone forever.
