If you use WhatsApp on iPhone, then there is good news for you because the instant messaging platform WhatsApp has rolled out the ‘View Once’ feature for its users. With the help of this feature, you can send such photos and videos which can be viewed only once. This feature was earlier available only for beta testers and Android users but now it has been rolled out for iOS as well.
WhatsApp has been testing the ‘View Once’ feature for a long time and now it has been rolled out to all users. This feature is inspired from Snapchat in which users get a chance to view the photo or video only once and after that it gets deleted automatically.
How View Once feature works
Using this feature, as soon as you send a photo or video to a person you know, it will disappear from the phone of both the sender and the receiver immediately after it is opened. Along with this, as soon as the receiver opens the message, a message of ‘Opened’ will come to the sender, which means that this file has been opened.
Know this thing before using the View Once feature
Let us tell you that even if this feature looks interesting and the photo and video sent in it gets deleted after seeing it once, but the person receiving that photo or video can take a screenshot of it. Therefore, before sending anything private, definitely think once. Apart from this, there is also one thing that WhatsApp does not prevent users from taking screenshots nor does it inform the user when the receiver takes a screenshot.
Will get another great feature soon
Let us tell you that soon WhatsApp users are going to get another great feature, with the help of which WhatsApp chats can be easily sent from iOS to Android through Google Data Restore Tool. WhatsApp Android smartphones will soon get this feature, for this you just have to wait for the launch of WhatsApp’s specific chat migration setting. According to the report of WAbetainfo, WhatsApp has started working on this feature and it will be introduced soon. When the chat migration feature from iOS to Android phones is introduced, users will get the option to transfer chats by scanning a QR code.
