WhatsApp, owned by Meta, positions itself as the ultimate secure platform for online conversations and consistently enhances its security features.
In its ongoing commitment to protecting user interactions, WhatsApp has introduced the "view once" option for voice messages, aligning with the successful implementation of a similar feature for images to prevent misuse.
The "say it once, play it once" mantra now extends to voice notes, giving users the ability to choose the 'view once' setting when sharing audio messages, thereby adding an extra layer of protection.
This announcement was made through an official post on WhatsApp’s X (formerly Twitter) account, accompanied by an informative slideshow video explaining the details of the new feature.
By utilizing the ‘view once’ option for voice notes, users have unprecedented choice and control over their shared content, ensuring a private sharing experience where recipients are restricted from saving, forwarding, or replaying the voice messages beyond a single instance.
