WhatsApp is working on a new version of its ‘disappearing messages’ feature, which would see the texts vanish immediately after being read. While the current version of the feature enables users to set messages to disappear after 24 hours, 7 days or 90 days, that may soon change.

Amazon Was £249.99 Now £199 View Deal According to WABetaInfo, the new feature in testing will ensure the message disappears for the sender and the recipient, as soon as that double blue tick arrives to show it has been read. Right now WhatsApp lets users set photos and videos to view once, following in the footsteps of Snapchat. The idea is to use it to send more sensitive information. You can’t forward the image and you can’t take a screenshot/screen-recording of the media either. One would assume, if WhatsApp rolls this feature out to encompass text messages, the same principle would apply. If the feature replicates the test screenshot posted by WABetaInfo, recipients will see a “text expired” notification once

Home News Mobile Phones (Image credit: Anton/Pexels) WhatsApp continues to work on disappearing messaging with its most extreme version yet: View Once messages à la Snapchat.Now instead of having to choose from 24 hours to 90 days for a message to disappear forever, these texts will immediately delete themselves after opening. These texts also can’t be forwarded to another user or copied onto a device. And according to WABetaInfo, which found the upcoming feature, there will be a slightly different icon for these messages: an arrow with a lock on it. At this point, it’s unknown what the update will do for taking screenshots of View Once messages. WABetaInfo can’t confirm if screenshotting is blocked or not as the feature is still in beta, but considering this is a part of WhatsApp owner Meta’s efforts to support user privacy, there’s a pretty good chance this will be a function.If any of this sounds familiar, that’s because WhatsApp added the same function for images and videos earlier this year. It’s worth noting you can actually screenshot and screen record this particular type of View Once media, and on top of that, you won’t be notified if the recipient does this.View Once
