There has been a very important development regarding the world’s most popular instant messaging application WhatsApp. This feature, which appeared in the iOS beta version of WhatsApp with the code 22.21.0.71, and is still under development, looks so clear for the first time.
There will be those who know; A one-time viewable photo and video feature came to WhatsApp a long time ago. This feature allowed a sent photo and video to be shown only once on the other side. However, this feature had a very important flaw. So much so that the user who took the one-time image could take a screenshot. We warned you about this when this feature was released. The latest iOS beta version of WhatsApp reveals that there is very little time left for this situation to change.
This is what the screenshot blocking feature will look like!
The new feature detected by WABetaInfo prevents taking screenshots on one-time photos and videos. In this way, users will be able to send their photos and videos in a ‘one-time view’ manner in a safer way. However, it should be noted that security is not fully provided here. So much so that the other party can record a one-time video or photo using a secondary device. By the way; It should be noted that within the scope of this feature, the screen recording feature on the phones is also blocked. So WhatsApp has thought of all possibilities.
WhatsApp officials did not make any statements about the upcoming feature. As of now, we do not have any information on when this feature will be available. However, it is thought that the feature detected in the codes of the iOS beta version of WhatsApp will be published in the not too distant future. Moreover, not only iOS, but also Android, web and desktop users will benefit from this feature.
