WhatsApp is testing a "View Once" feature for text messages with some Android beta users.
Now, you can send a message that disappears right after it's read, just like the disappearing photos and videos.
The update is rolling out gradually through the Google Play Store.
How to send disappearing WhatsApp texts
To send a "View Once" text, just tap and hold the send button after typing your message.
The message stays hidden until opened, then deletes itself for good.
This tool boosts privacy by blocking in-app copying and screenshots (though someone could still snap a photo with another device).
Currently, it's available to select Android beta testers running version 2.26.45.6, and more beta testers are expected to get access over the coming weeks.
