Recently Mohan sent a photo to his friend Sohan on WhatsApp. As soon as Sohan opened the photo, it suddenly disappeared. Sohan was shocked for a while and started thinking, "The photo was visible just now, where did it go now?" Perhaps this has happened to you too when the photo or video sent on WhatsApp opens only once and then disappears.

All this happens due to WhatsApp's 'View Once' feature. The specialty of this feature is that the receiver can view the sent photo or video only once. After this, it disappears automatically. Mohan explained to Sohan, "The purpose of this feature is to maintain privacy so that the receiver cannot save or forward that file after viewing it once."

What is the WhatsApp View Once feature?

Sohan started gathering more information about this feature. He found out that the 'View Once' feature automatically deletes the media file sent on WhatsApp after viewing it once.

Safety and privacy of users

This feature has been introduced keeping in mind the safety and privacy of the users. When you send a photo or video and the receiver views it, that photo or video gets deleted immediately. This ensures that no one gets a chance to view or download the file again.

How to send View Once Media

If you also want to send photos, videos, or other media files on WhatsApp that can be viewed only once, then follow the steps given below:

1. Open a chat on WhatsApp: First, open your personal or group chat on WhatsApp.

2. Tap the attach icon: Tap the attach icon (clip) at the bottom of the chat box.

3. Select a photo or video: Then, go to Camera or Gallery and select a photo or video on your phone.

4. Tap on the View Once icon: Once you have selected the media file, tap on the 'View Once' icon. This icon will turn green, indicating that you are in View Once mode.

5. Tap on the send icon: Now, send the file by tapping on the send icon.

6. View Open Receipt: When the receiver views the file, you will see an “Opened” receipt in the chat, confirming that the receiver has viewed the media file.

In this way, WhatsApp's 'View Once' feature provides a secure way to share media while maintaining your privacy.
