WhatsApp keeps introducing new features for its users. Now, a popular feature previously available only on mobile is being rolled out for linked devices like laptops. This update will not only make chatting more enjoyable but also improve privacy.
View Once Feature Now Available on Linked Devices
A few months ago, WhatsApp introduced the View Once feature. With this, users can send photos, videos, or audio files that the receiver can view only once. This feature was previously available only on mobile devices.
While users could send View Once messages from linked devices earlier, they couldn’t open and view these messages. Now, WhatsApp is rolling out an update allowing users to access View Once messages on their laptops and other linked devices.
Currently Available for Beta Users
WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is currently testing this feature with beta users. After getting feedback, the company will make necessary changes and release the feature for all users. It is expected to become widely available within a few weeks.
India: The Largest Market for WhatsApp
India is WhatsApp’s biggest market, with 53.5 crore users. Indian users spend more time on WhatsApp compared to global users. After India, Brazil and the USA have the highest number of WhatsApp users.
This new feature is expected to enhance user experience while maintaining privacy on linked devices.
