WhatsApp, like practically all social networks, is always attentive to trends and news that, both its direct competition and other applications that have little or nothing to do with social networks, launch. In the end, In such a changing environment, you have to know how to react to market movements.
Now, the company would be implementing in its application a new option for which they have used some inspiration, since it would be the possibility of sending photos to contacts which self-destruct when viewed. Something that is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that we see in a messaging application.
It is something that makes WhatsApp competitive against its rival applications such as Telegram or Signal and that allows users to have more options when it comes to communicating. This one, in particular, can be quite fun.
The news has come to light thanks to WaBetaInfo, who has had access to some screenshots that show how this new WhatsApp feature would work that Facebook had also implemented on Instagram just a few months ago.
How to transfer your conversations from WhatsApp to Telegram
When sending a photograph, a button should be marked next to the text field, which would indicate that self-destruction is activated. When someone receives this image, they will see a slightly larger than normal text message with an inscription similar to “Tap to view”. Once this message is opened, a notice will appear notifying the self-destruction of the photo once the chat is exited.
At the moment, WhatsApp would not have created a warning for when a screenshot is detected, although it is something that could happen prior to the arrival of this feature, arrival that would take place in a future update for both Android and iOS. Although it will most likely reach beta users first.
