WhatsApp introduces new features and fights against Snapchat


WhatsApp is currently rolling out an update for Android beta testers so they can start using the new feature. This feature is very similar to Snapchat and allows you to view your sent photos once and for a while. It’s unclear at the time of writing when iOS users will get this update with the same features.

WhatsApp is currently rolling out the One Time Show feature. It allows users to post photos and videos that can be viewed once and then disappear when this happens. You won’t be able to see it again. This is a function very reminiscent of Snapchat, where it is the standard of communication.

As the sender of such an image, you will now see a clock in the input field below the image, with which you can enable restrictions. When a submitted photo or video is displayed, you will be notified. It doesn’t matter whether you have read receipts enabled: in this case you will always see whether the message has been read or not.

However, it is not clear to the sender when the photo or video will be shown. So you just see that the image is displayed. It also doesn’t matter whether you share content in WhatsApp groups or with people in private chats. You can always see the photos and videos viewed at any given moment.

However, you must remain vigilant. The messaging service doesn’t have screenshot detection, like Snapchat. If you share a sensitive photo, someone might take a screenshot and get the photo forever. It is also true that blocked contacts, with whom you are still in the same group, can see these photos.
