Disappearing messages

[teenagemutant]

Needed to use OH's phone for something earlier today and noticed he has disappearing messages turned on in WhatsApp for a woman he works with.

He says it's innocent, she turned it on and he wasn't sure how to turn it off but it's made me feel uneasy.

We've been together 7 years, no history of cheating.

I've said I think it looks a bit weird, like they've got something to hide. He says he understands and has now worked out how to turn it off, but there's just a niggle telling me there's more to this.

Who actually uses the disappearing messaging other than people having affairs?!

Am I being ridiculous?

Thanks all. Good to get all views on it.
Could be innocent I suppose.

I won't bring it up again, but will be vigilant for other signs.

Not felt like this before, but there's just a niggle there's telling me there's more to it.

Time will tell I guess

Quite a few of my work colleagues have this setting on . Unless there's anything else he's been doing like hiding his phone etc, then I think best to give him benefit of the doubt

I have a few friends who have this and some who dont. I guess they turned it on? I dont think I did! But it is totally possible to have some people with it on and some not, I am living proof it-- well my WhatsApp inbox is!

were they set to disappear after 24 hours?

I’d be less worried about that than say 30seconds.
