Interesting news is coming from WhatsApp. Specifically, up WhatsApp Web and on the relevant PC app it will finally be possible to take advantage of the function “View once”, which makes the images and videos sent viewable only once by the recipient. The function had previously been removed for a privacy issue, however the company has retraced its steps.
Getting to the heart of the news, the button to take advantage of this functionality it will be located inside the caption bar in the drawing editor on WhatsApp for Windows. The same function, among other things, will also be available on macOS and connected devices (in particular, on WhatsApp beta for iPad). In any case, restoring this option for users is a good step forward, especially since the feature avoids storing files on the device, thus offering a better level of privacy.
Moreover, the absence of this function had often been highlighted by users and it is very probable, therefore, that Meta took all this into consideration to change his mind.
Therefore, once again user feedback proved to be important for the development of the updates dedicated to the well-known messaging app. The “View Once” feature is available to some users who install the latest updates to WhatsApp for Windows, WhatsApp for macOS and WhatsApp Web while rolling out to more users in the coming weeks.
