Other messaging apps have the option to enable this feature for individual messages but in WhatsApp, you have to enable this option in the profile section of who you want to send the self-destructive message which means every message you send to that person after enabling this feature will be a self-destructive message. To enable this feature, you have to click the profile of the person you want to send the message and then at the bottom, there will be an option to set a time for deleting messages.
