Suara.com – WhatsApp in the middle of testing features View Once which allows messages in the form of photos and videos to be automatically deleted after one view. This feature is already available in beta version 2.21.14.3 for Android users.
Quoting NDTV, Thursday (1/7/2021), the way view once works is similar to disappearing messages. The difference is, there is no time period to determine when the message expires after being viewed.
This View Oonce option will appear when a user wants to attach a photo or video in a conversation. Users only need to activate the feature and they will be notified when the other person has opened the submitted media.
However, if the user does not activate the read mark or blue tick in the conversation, then the application will not tell whether the media message has been read or not.
