WhatsApp tests 'view once' texts that vanish after being read
Technology
WhatsApp is working on a new feature that lets you send text messages that vanish after being read, kind of like Snapchat, but for chats.
Spotted in the latest Android beta, this "view-once" option will show up when you long-press the Send button and pick "Send as view once."
Once your friend opens the message, it disappears instantly.
WhatsApp tests spoiler texts for privacy
That's not all: WhatsApp is also testing "spoiler messages," where your text stays blurred until tapped.
Both features are part of WhatsApp's push to give users more control and privacy in their conversations.
