Whatsapp One Time View Feature

Photos That Can Be Viewed Once

Popular instant messaging app WhatsApp has activated a new feature inspired by Snapchat that it tested recently for all its users. This feature, which allows us to send photos and videos that can only be viewed once, seems to add color to the WhatsApp experience, but it is worrying that there is no measure against screenshots yet.

WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging applications in the world, announced on its official website that users will now be able to send photos and videos that can only be viewed once.

The feature, which was recently tested in beta, has been activated for all users after the final tests. We will now be able to prevent the images we send from remaining in the other party's gallery. Similar features were available in applications such as SnapChat, Instagram and Telegram. Now WhatsApp has joined this bandwagon.

This situation, which sounds like fun, actually brings some risks. Because there is no mechanism that prevents screenshots of sensitive or private images. Moreover, when the other party takes a screenshot, there is no notification. It is useful to act knowing that we are at risk when using this feature.

How to Use the Feature?

We enter a chat and then click on the section to send a photo or video, just like before. Then we select the image we will send and immediately tap on the new button that says “1” added to the right side of the section where we can write a message. The application sends us a warning message that this image can only be viewed once. After confirming this warning, you will have sent a visual content that the other party can only see once.
