In the meantime, Meta keeps updating the app to add new features and functional upgrades. One of the most requested features was the ability to send ‘View Once’ media, and it finally made its debut on WhatsApp a while ago. This lets you send an image or video, and even voice notes, but the receiver can only play it once.
Also, if the recipient doesn’t open a View Once media within 14 days of sending, it will be deleted. Keep in mind that any media file you send as View Once won’t be saved in the other party’s gallery, and they also can’t take screenshots of it.
This could be useful for people who are concerned about privacy or who need to send security-sensitive codes or documents, like credit card photos. Here, we’ll explain how this feature works and how you can use it for yourself.
