WhatsApp Brings Back View Once Feature on Web and Desktop
WhatsApp is reintroducing the highly requested View Once feature on its Web and Desktop platforms. This feature allows users to access View Once photos and videos outside of their mobile devices.
The Removal and Return of View Once
Previously, users had access to View Once media. However, in November 2022, WhatsApp made the decision to remove this feature from its official browser platform and PC app due to privacy concerns. But now, the feature is making a comeback on all major platforms. Recent updates have brought back the View Once functionality to WhatsApp Web and Desktop.
Working on Windows and macOS
According to a report from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp Web and Desktop users can now utilize the View Once feature. The functionality has been restored through updates to the desktop client and the website. Users on both Windows and macOS builds of the WhatsApp Desktop can take advantage of this feature.
Understanding View Once
View Once allows users to send pictures and videos that can only be viewed once. Once the recipient clicks on the View Once message in the chat, the media disappears and cannot be accessed again. Previously, users could take screenshots of pictures, but WhatsApp released an update to make screenshots ineffective.
Enhanced Security Measures
In addition to bringing back View Once, WhatsApp has also implemented email verification to further enhance security measures. These updates aim to provide users with a more secure and private messaging experience on the platform.
Overall, the reintroduction of the View Once feature on WhatsApp Web and Desktop offers users the convenience of accessing View Once photos and videos on larger screens without compromising privacy and security.
