In recent years, WhatsApp added a new feature that is called View Once. And it is a very good privacy feature for all WhatsApp users.
WhatsApp added a lot of features that are related to privacy concerns but this is a new feature.
WhatsApp’s View Once helps you to send photos & videos that will disappear after the person sees it once. This means photos or videos will just vanish once the other person opens and sees them.
The second time, you can’t see the photos and videos that are sent by the View Once feature. And no one can take screenshots or even record a screen. So, This is the best part of that.
Now, Let’s see how to Use WhatsApp’s ‘View Once’ Feature on your phone.

What happens if Someone Save Your View Once photo and Video?
In the beginning, it had a big problem with security. Even though you could only see your photos once, people could still take screenshots, so your photos wouldn’t disappear.
With screenshot blocking, if someone tries to take a screenshot, they’ll only get a blank screen. They’ll also see a message that says their screenshot was blocked for “added privacy.”
WhatsApp is still working on this screenshot-blocking feature and hasn’t said when it will be available. But as time passes, more and more people will start using it. Until then, watch out for who you send your View Once photos or videos.
