WhatsApp, a messaging application owned by Meta, has introduced a new update that allows users to send voice messages that disappear after they have been opened.
“We’re continually seeking ways to enhance your privacy. View once now enables you to send voice messages that vanish once they are opened,” WhatsApp announced.
A video demonstration shared by WhatsApp illustrates the process of sending voice messages that automatically disappear after being played.
To utilize this feature, users initiate a voice message by tapping the microphone icon, record their message, swipe up to lock the recording, then tap the “view once” icon to activate the disappearing message feature. Finally, the voice message can be sent as usual.
Once received, the recipient can listen to the voice message only once before it automatically disappears from the chat.
This new feature is aimed at empowering users to have greater control over their privacy settings within the app.
