WhatsApp gets major new feature

WhatsApp has announced the launch of View Once, a feature that lets you send photos or videos which can only be opened once before they are deleted.

Once the recipient of the photo or video exits the media viewer, it will no longer be visible in that chat, and they can’t view it again.
 
Self-destructing eh?

That's pretty unfair
So now when someone sends me a nood I only see it once?
I can't go somewhere private for a fap later? :confused:
 
I wish they would do that with banking app confirmation codes via normal messaging..

Whatsapp? Meh..
 
so what happens if your recording your screen at the same time, or try take a screenshot,
or hell, just take a photo of the screen from another phone,

defeated instantly?
 
Now you can send dkpics and hope the viewer only sees it once.

Is whatsapp aware of the fact there is many screenshot apps for phones that can even work around apps that doesn't allow screenshots. o_0
 
This is working perfectly well, I got two that couldn't be viewed once.
