CHIT CHAT

"In addition, this feature definitely helps to maintain media privacy by ensuring that any media files, such as photos and videos, shared in a locked chat are not automatically saved to the device’s gallery."

Even beta testers who try out new stuff first on WhatsApp haven't got a chance to use it yet.

So there's no telling when - and if - WhatsApp will ever make it a reality.
