Would you like to share photos and videos with just one of your contacts? This feature is for you. When opening the WhatsApp messaging app, you might never have noticed it, but there is a camera icon at the top next to the chat tab. By clicking on it, you can take a photo. If you hold down your finger longer, you can even make a video. As a bonus, you will be able to download this content as a status in the application, much like a story on the Instagram network.
What is surprising is that the photo or video published may not be seen by everyone. Indeed, you can select from your list of contacts and choose those who will be able to see your content or not. Enough to preserve your privacy as you wish. Note that, just like on Facebook and Instagram, your content will be deleted 24 hours following publication.
N.B : We urge you to quickly try WhatsApp’s Secret Camera, as this feature may soon be disabled and replaced.
