WhatsApp disappearing messages feature was rolled out not too long ago. It allows users to make their WhatsApp messages disappear for any particular contact after a specific time. This is an automatic feature which ensures it removes chats as per the requirement of the user. If your contact has turned on the WhatsApp disappearing chat option on, then there is no other way but to let the chat go. You can't save the WhatsApp message unless you choose to switch off the disappearing chats altogether.
Undoubtedly, disappearing messages help us message more privately, but at the cost of losing some important messages too when the mode is enabled. If you want to read any of the shared messages later, that won't be possible. But it seems like things are going to change soon! WhatsApp is working on an additional feature that will allow users to keep the important messages from disappearing chats. This can be helpful in case you want to keep the information that may be used in the future such as phone numbers, contact details, maybe a heartfelt message that you don't want loose.
