WhatsApp Brings ‘View Once’ For Voice Messages; How To Use The New Feature. WhatsApp has expanded its view once feature to voice messages
WhatsApp on Friday (December 12) expanded the ‘View Once’ feature to voice messages in the messenger app
With the ‘View Once’ feature turned on, the voice message can be listened to once and it automatically gets deleted on the receiver’s phone.
This feature comes in handy while sharing sensitive details on WhatsApp. For instance, if the user is in the office and the partner or loved one is at home and wants to know the credit/debit card number or OTP to complete an online transaction, the user can instantly send a voice message.
