Delhi : The instant messaging service that is owned by Meta is now adding audio communications to its list of features. In 2021, WhatsApp launched the View Once messaging feature for text, images, and videos.  Users will be able to program and record audio messages to vanish once the receiver hears them thanks to this functionality. View Once voice messages use the same "one-time" emblem as View Once images and videos, meaning they can only be listened to once. Over the next several days, Users worldwide will receive View Once audio messages update.

Ways to send a voice message on WhatsApp using View Once

Open the WhatsApp conversation window.

The microphone icon in the chat box's lower-right corner may be touched and held.

To lock the recording, swipe up. Press and hold the record.

Press the latest new feature View Once symbol.

When you're done recording your message, tap Send.

The audio message will vanish from the chat window once the receiver has heard the voice clip. The phrase "opened" will take its place. If the receiver does not access the View Once messages after 14 days of being delivered, they will disappear from the conversation. Additionally, once media is enabled, users are unable to forward, save, star, or share voice messages that were sent or received with view.

On Thursday, December 7, Meta announced the arrival of View Once voice messages. With this function, users may record a voice message that will be deleted once the receiver hears it. 

Advantage of WhatsApp View Once new update

With this feature, you may communicate private information like credit card numbers and streaming app passwords, arrange surprises, and discuss sensitive information without worrying about it being recorded or shared. Voice messages set as "View Once" will have a "one-time" symbol, meaning they can only be played once.

View Once is an illustration of the company's ongoing innovation to privacy. It is stated that end-to-end encryption is used by default to safeguard WhatsApp's vanishing voice communications, much like it does for its self-destructing images and videos. Over the next several days, the View Once audio messages will be available everywhere.
