Whatsapp Introduces View once Feature Android, ios, iphone

WhatsApp will now get a special advantage of View Once for both Android and iOS devices. Using this feature, the recipient will be able to view all the photos and videos that you send to his phone at once. Once seen, the image disappears in an instant. Give this feature a try. You will see that your shared photos and videos will not be saved in the recipient’s phone gallery in any way.

Here’s a guide to how you can use WhatsApp’s View Once feature on your Android or iOS device, according to a report from Gadgets360.

Before you begin the steps of how you can use View Once on WhatsApp, it’s important to remember that once you send a photo or video using the feature, you will no longer see it in the chat. This means that once you send a photo or video, you can no longer save it. In addition, once a photo or video is shared using the View Once feature, it will be automatically deleted from the chat if it is not opened within 14 days of sending.

• Download the latest version of WhatsApp to your device. Now select a photo or video that you want to show your contacts for once.
• Press the View icon once available next to the caption bar. You will see an alert option in the middle of your content to ensure activation of the feature.
• Now, press the send button to share that photo or video with your contacts.

One thing to note here is that WhatsApp advises users to turn on the View Once feature only to trusted people. Because the recipient can take a screenshot or screen recording before the media disappears. If screenshots or screen recordings are taken you may not know it. The recipient can take a picture or record a video of the media using a camera or other device.

Encrypted media that have been sent using View Once have been reported to be stored on WhatsApp’s servers a few weeks after you send them. Media will also be shared with WhatsApp if the recipient wants to report to the app.
