WhatsApp View Once deleted photos and videos after being viewed

Snapchat might have popularized the idea of ​​posting social media that damaged itself, but the others were quickly caught to make it a must have on any messaging platform. At the end of last year, WhatsApp launched a “message that disappeared” which damaged itself after a certain period. Unfortunately, some users might still find it too long, especially for potentially burdensome photos and videos. It seems that WhatsApp is about to be ready to issue a more stringent multimedia version of the self-destruction system that you can see once and only once before it is lost forever.

Messages of self-destruction have become a common way to eliminate certain evidence of discussion. Maybe not because you don’t trust others, if not why send sensitive messages from the start, but more as a guarantee if the phone falls into the wrong friend’s hand. However, the message WhatsApp disappeared, however, has a self-destruction timer set to seven days, leaving plenty of space for embarrassing situations.

The upcoming expired message, more formal “see once,” is an effort to fix it but only for photos and videos. Based on excavation of wetethainfo, the system is quite simple to use. Just tap the new display after the icon when sending photos or videos, and you will be notified if the recipient has seen it. After that happens, the media is lost forever unless you send it again.

In practice, there are several important catches that can make this feature ineffective when dealing with people who are less reliable. Just like the message that disappears, see after the media can still be captured in the screenshot. People who might have blocked but are still in the same group as you will also be able to see photos or videos once, which means they will also be able to take screenshots if they realize that it is an Ephemeral message.

WhatsApp display after the feature launches into beta testers on Android first. Another warning is that even if the recipient doesn’t have a feature, the display after a photo or video will still damage yourself for them after they see it.
