WhatsApp has launched a ‘Look once’ feature for photos and videos for iPhone users.
This feature was previously available for beta whatsapp tester and only an Android device that has access to it.
With features ‘Look once’, photos and videos sent in this mode can be seen only once.
The media sent will be lost from the chat after the user opens photos or videos.
Whats application has tested the ‘View once’ feature for some time and is now finally available.
Features, inspired by Snapchat, allows users to view photos and videos only once and then ‘deleted’ themselves.
Even though this feature might sound interesting, note that the person you send photos or videos can always save it by taking the screenshot.
WhatsApp does not prevent users from taking screenshot also does not tell the user when the recipient of the message has taken the screenshot.
After you send a photo or video to someone, it will automatically disappear from your cellphone and the recipient’s phone when it is opened once.
You will get a notification when the person has seen the content and will get the message “opened”.
Meanwhile, Android phones will soon have the ability to easily transfer the WhatsApp chat from iOS to Android instantly through Google’s data recovery tool.
While Android phones will start supporting this feature, you may have to wait for WhatsApp to introduce certain chat migration settings.
A report by Wabetainfo claims that whatsapp has worked on this feature and may be officially launched at that time.
When the chat migration feature from iOS to an Android phone is introduced on WhatsApp, the user must access the features of the application itself by scanning the QR code from the transfer of the WhatsApp chat.
