WhatsApp ‘view once’ disappearing photos and videos feature inching closer to launch for iPhone users

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is testing a few additional features for iPhone users like in-app notifications, “view once” photos and videos. If a report by WABetaInfo is to be believed, WhatsApp will roll out the ‘view once’ feature for iOS beta users with version 2.21.140.9 after making it available for Android beta testers.

Using the feature, users will be able to use the Snapchat-like features to send photos, videos and destroy themselves after being seen. However, like Snapchat, WhatsApp users will not know if one is taking a screenshot of something, said a 9to5Mac report. According to WABetaInfo, knowing if a screenshot has been taken or not will be not provided as there is no full-proof way to know about the same.
