Morphology
self-deletion + feature
The phrase is directly compositional: 'self' (referring to itself) + 'deletion' (removal) describes an act of deleting itself, and 'feature' denotes a function or capability. Although somewhat technical, the meaning is transparently derived from the constituent words and is predictable to learners who know those parts.
Etymology
Self-deletion feature comes from a simple picture: self-deletion means 'it deletes itself' and feature means a built-in function. So, the phrase now describes a function that makes files or messages disappear automatically for 'privacy' or 'security'.
