WhatsApp disappearing messages can not be saved currently.
WhatsApp will let group admins limit this feature, which means there will be a new privacy setting that allows group admins to toggle the ability to keep a disappearing message.
Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp is working on a feature that will let users keep disappearing messages even after they have expired and disappeared from your chats. WhatsApp is said to be bringing a new “Kept Messages” section that will store all disappearing messages that the user wants to hold on to.
According to report by WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, disappearing messages will be stored in a new section called ‘Kept messages’, which will be accessible to all people in the conversation. Currently, there is no way of storing messages in disappearing chats and users can not even star messages in a disappearing chat. The Kept Messages feature, however, is set to change that and users can “Keep” a message, which will go to the “Kept Messages” section like archives or bookmarks.
