WhatsApp, a messaging application owned by Meta, has introduced a new update allowing users to send voice messages that disappear after they’ve been opened.
“We’re always looking for ways to give you more privacy. View once now lets you send voice messages that disappear after they’re opened,” WhatsApp stated.
A video animation shared by WhatsApp demonstrates how users can utilize this feature to send disappearing voice messages.
To utilize the feature, users need to tap on the microphone icon to begin recording a voice message. Then, they swipe up to lock the recording, locate the “view once” icon, tap it to activate the disappearing message feature, and proceed to send the voice message as usual.
Upon receipt, the recipient can listen to the message only once before it automatically disappears from the chat.
This new feature aims to provide users with greater control over their privacy.
