Whatsapp is reportedly trying out a new feature for their customers. The new feature is said to allow the receiver to view images only once and they won’t be able to save it on their device.
Images To Expire After Viewing Once
WABetaInfo, a site that tracks WhatsApp has a few screen captures uncovering the working of the vanishing pictures included. As the name recommends, the pictures will fall to pieces after a pre-set time for both the sender and collector. WhatsApp’s way to deal with the element is like Instagram Direct stories, in which case a picture or video is just visible once before it lapses.
The element will be accessible for both private and gathering visits. The new expansion will show up close by the falling to pieces messages, which was uncovered back in November 2020.

The alternatives to settle on sound and video decisions have begun showing up for some beta clients, other than the hunt button at the highest point of the talk window – both bearing the beta tag.
WhatsApp has likewise begun turning out cutting edge backdrop highlights to more clients. This component allows clients to set an alternate backdrop for each visit. You can decide to set one backdrop for all talks on WhatsApp, or physically select an alternate one for each visit.
