exactly, I believe people with ulterior motives do this nonsense. Once I see disappearing messages I completely distrust the person, same as viewing my status without me knowing.
Same here... And with those read receipt off. I don't complain at all or try to correct the person, I just include them in my mental blacklist of people I should never trust

Or really? People that are way are pure are in the grave Mr pure way

"Your case is like when Jesus asked that woman accusers who want to stoned her that anyone of you who is pure should first cast the stone on the woman and all of her accusers dropped their stone and walked away in shame"

Protect yourself

Do not discuss serious matters on disappearing chats.

Insist on written confirmation for any agreement.

Save records where the law allows.

And how can you actually prove that the persons way is not pure?

Do you know that someone can have his last seen and receipts on and still do bad things online and offline ? So you feel because you can keep track of their online presence they’re more trustworthy?Can you now see that you’re not reasoning straight?

Only two timing cheaters use disappearing messages

You should also be wary of anyone who hides their WhatsApp online presence or read messages. It literally means that they have something to hide
They are shady my ex I never knew he had a fiancee until I was informed by another person she is pregnant and he is preparing to marry her he turns on disappearing message even he doesn't have read receipt I thought it was just a cruise

until I couldn't see any past chats to nail him I was naive and played

Frustration? Don't assume everyone is facing hardship like you and your family.

When I start a chat with someone, I always inform them ahead that I will like to trun off the disappearing message function... But if i come back and see all our chat are deleted, that's the end.
My turn off is people that don't have any picture on their profile... Who are you?
GHOST.

This is a serious caution.

If you are chatting with someone who always insists on turning on disappearing messages, don’t ignore it. It is not just a WhatsApp setting. It is a deliberate choice and often a dangerous one.

Disappearing messages erase conversations automatically and in real life, what has no record is hard to prove. In law, chats are frequently used to establish:
🥢 Agreements
🥢 Instructions
🥢 Promises
🥢 Financial arrangements
🥢 Threats or admissions
When the messages vanish, your proof vanishes with it.

Let this be clear

Turning on disappearing messages is not illegal but when someone insists on it for:

🥢 Business discussions
🥢 Money matters
🥢 Work arrangements
🥢 Sensitive commitments
That is a red flag you should not ignore.

What this means for you
🥢 If the issue later becomes serious and there is no evidence, the law will ask: Where is your proof?
🥢 Courts rely on records, not explanations.
🥢 Verbal claims rarely survive without documentation.

Protect yourself

Do not discuss serious matters on disappearing chats.

Insist on written confirmation for any agreement.

Save records where the law allows.

Be cautious with people who fear transparency.
Silence deletes accountability. Transparency protects everyone. This warning may save you from future trouble.
And the folks hiding their last seen! Both have something to hide!!

Knowing the last time someone enters Whatsapp is nobody's business.
I won't post status and I won't view yours. Everybody should rest.

I guess that is if you set not to be viewed by all right?
