The WhatsApp send button is enriched with a new function: the single view

Do you know single view photos and videos on WhatsApp? This function, very practical but little known, allows you to share confidential content that disappears once viewed, without leaving a trace, a bit like what you find on Snapchat! It can be a somewhat compromising image, a joke, intimate content, a code or a photo taken on the spot for example, in short, “one-time use” files. From the moment your recipient opens the photo or video to view it, it will be deleted once the media is closed, and it will no longer be possible for them to see it once more. If he would like to watch it once more, a notification will tell him that the content has expired and that he should ask you to send it to him a second time.

In addition, with this mode, it is impossible to share it, save it or take a screenshot of it. Please note that single-view photos and videos are different from ephemeral messages, which are deleted following a certain period of time between 24 hours and 90 days. But

WhatsApp might give more prominence to this type of content. Indeed, the instant messenger is working on a new messages menu allowing to send single-view images and videos, as noticed by the specialized site WABetaInfo in the beta version 2.23.18.3 of the Android application.

A new menu

Currently, to set a photo or video to be visible only once, you must attach an image or take a photo in the chat. You must then press the small icon in the shape of a 1 in a circle, located on the right in the area reserved for the legend, before sending it. But with the next version, you will be able to do it thanks to a new message menu, by holding down the send button, the little green arrow at the bottom right of the screen. A new menu will then appear, allowing you to choose to send the image or video as a visible message once. Be careful though, this does not work for GIFs.

WhatsApp is constantly enriched with new functions in order to attract users and face competition. Instant messaging now allows you to send photos and videos in HD and to share your screen in real time during video calls. And she does not intend to stop there! Meta, the parent company that also owns Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, is currently working on new text editing and formatting features for WhatsApp, as well as creating your own stickers using a simple text command , thanks to AI, within the application.
