With Disappearing Messages, you choose how long your messages stay around. Set to default on all new chats, choose the duration, and get more control of your conversations. Not every message needs to stick around forever. Rolling out over the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/4dqYOUYFdC

Earlier, the information provided by the application on its website said this feature will not affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat. In an individual chat, either user can turn disappearing messages on or off.
While, in a group chat, any group participants can turn disappearing messages on or off. However, a group admin can change group settings to allow only admins to turn disappearing messages on or off.
