WhatsApp self-deleting message, can you activate this on the computer/PC without it being activated on the phone, so that it is only on the PC?

I'd like to know two things about self-deleting messages on WhatsApp. 1. If I use WhatsApp on my computer/PC, can I also enable self-deleting messages there? I'd like to know if it's only enabled when I'm texting or sending messages from there, or if it's automatically enabled on my phone as well, since setting it up on the PC requires a shortcut, or does it work without it?

2. Can the recipient see if I have self-deleting messages enabled on my PC and send him a message from there?

Thank you in advance😊

Self-extinguishing messages are activated in WhatsApp and not on the device itself. If you activate them on your smartphone, they are also activated on your PC.

Your second question has also become unnecessary.

So I have the same problem, on the computer I only see THE LAST message, before everything is empty, at EVERY chat.
On the phone, however, in EVERY CHAT the self-extinguishing messages are OFF, so that I can always look back miles.
How exactly does this change on the PC/laptop??? I can't find the "Options" button on my own!

I doubt very strongly, as this is set for the account. If you say you want them to be deleted they need to be removed from the WhatsApp server and are therefore no longer available for all devices.
