WhatsApp is adding disappearing photo messages to its app. The new feature is called “view once” photos, it allows users to send photos and videos in chats that can only be viewed a single time before disappearing.
While taking photos or videos on our phones has become such a big part of our lives, not everything we share needs to become a permanent digital record. On many phones, simply taking a photo means it will take up space in your camera roll forever, the company said in a statement.
Facebook said the new feature could be helpful for an array of needs that definitely aren’t sending nudes, like sharing a photo of some clothes you tried on, a quick reaction to a moment in time or giving someone your wifi password.
“We’re rolling out the feature to everyone starting this week and are looking forward to feedback on this new way to send private and disappearing media,” concludes the company.
