How To Send Photos And Videos View Once On WhatsApp

YOGYAKARTA - Have you ever sent a photo or video to a WhatsApp contact, then wanted to delete it from your device? For example, credit card photos, backbiting someone, to photos that shouldn't be shared.

That desire seems to have been felt by almost all WhatsApp users. Through an update that WhatsApp rolled out last week, the company added a new feature called 'See Once'.

So what is the function of this feature? Also, why is the company impressive if this feature can be a solution to improve user privacy? To find out more complete answers, see the descriptions that have been summarized by the VOI team from the following sources.

Earlier this August, WhatsApp announced the presence of a View Once feature via the company's official blog. In the announcement, WhatsApp said that this feature would give users more control over their privacy.

How the View Once feature works is quite simple. Each photo and video sent can only be seen once by the recipient. Next, the file will be deleted automatically. So, users can't see it anymore.

It should be noted, this feature is only available on the latest version of the application. So, for those of you who want to use it, you must first update the application version via the Play Store. Once the WhatsApp app is updated, all you need to do is perform the following steps:

1. Open the chat page with the person you want to send a photo or video to2. Tap the Camera icon, then select the media you want to send, similar to when you want to send a photo or video to another contact3. Next, you will see a new circular icon with the number 1 in it. This icon is located near the Submit button. This is the icon of the View Once feature. 4. Now, to send a photo that can only be viewed once, click the icon. Finally, tap the Send icon for the message to be sent.

Indeed, now there are several versions of WhatsApp available. Among others, the website version to the desktop software. However, for how to send a 'See Once' file, the method is not too much different. So, you can repeat the above method on several platforms.
