WhatsApp ends support for ‘View Once’ images and videos on PC version

Since the start of the year, WhatsApp has been on a roll. In a bid to arrest the migration of messenger users to rival apps such as Telegram and Signal, it has been releasing new privacy-oriented features including the option to leave the group discreetly without being notified to the other members, the option to hide the online status and the screenshot blocking feature.

With the screenshot-blocking feature, WhatsApp provided another layer of privacy security for iOS and Android phone users. Though privacy advocates advise users not to share any private photos or videos even with partners on messenger apps, people never listen.

Whenever the relationship went sour, the jilted partner would use those content to blackmail the other person.
