Self-destructing voice messages on Whatsapp

 WhatsApp is introducing self-destructing voice messages

WhatsApp is introducing self-destructing voice messages. It is two years after the ‘View Once’ feature arrived for photos and videos, the messaging app’s voice notes are getting the same protection. WhatsApp has officially announced that you will soon be able to set voice messages to disappear after their recipient hears them. The “View Once” feature is available for photos and videos since 2021, but it’s now including audio messages as well. While it’s a little confusing that WhatsApp is using the “View Once” branding for messages that you listen to rather than look at, it’s nice to see the protection available for another of the messaging service’s formats. 

In a press release, the company suggests you might want to use the feature “for reading out your credit card details to a friend, or when you’re planning a surprise.” To that list, lets add simply “being romantic and / or horny,” but we can see why those examples wouldn’t make it into the press release. As always, we had some idea this was coming thanks to the sources, but now we know it’s officially rolling out for iOS and Android globally “over the coming days.” we have yet to see the feature appear on our device, but earlier reports suggests that you will be able to make a voice note “View Once” by tapping the “1” icon to the right of the message’s waveform while recording .
