WhatsApp may roll out 'view once' feature for text messages
(Web Desk) – Instant messaging platform, WhatsApp after launching view once feature for picture likely to launch this feature for text messages too.
The popular update site for WhatsApp, WABetaInfo while revealing the development stated that when sending a view-once message, you’ll see the green send button appear with a small lock icon. Once a message expires, you’d have to ask the sender to resend the message to see it again. The usual protections WhatsApp offers view-once media should also be available for texts — no screenshots, forwarding, or copying the content.
That said, the view-once option is merely a deterrent — someone desperate enough could still take pictures of your disappearing media and texts with another device, for all you know. Even if view-once texts wouldn’t be foolproof, they should still be useful.
