You Won’t Be Able to Access This Feature on WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp online is a popular messaging for millions, however due to the platform’s emphasis on privacy, the well-known “View Once” function will not be accessible to individuals using the WhatsApp desktop client.

‘View Once’ Not Supported on Web

According to the details given, the desktop version of WhatsApp will not allow view-once messages, which vanish once the content has been accessed. The update is presently being tested by WhatsApp with beta users, but we anticipate that the platform will soon make it available to all users in the not-too-distant future.

The view-one message is a helpful tool for anybody who wants to data share a picture or a video with someone else, but they only want it to be seen once before it goes forever. However, WhatsApp is aware that users cannot be prevented from capturing screenshots or screen recordings of such information, which creates a problem for users’ privacy.

And since there is no way to prevent a person from capturing screenshots on a desktop, WhatsApp has eliminated support for the function entirely for users on personal computers. It has been brought to our attention by the messaging app that WhatsApp for Windows and macOS will lose functionality for seeing view-one messages. According to the source, WhatsApp has already disabled the ability to send or see these types of communications on desktop devices as of the start of this month. Most users may have received the update and will be unable to use the feature on WhatsApp web.
