Instant messaging platform- WhatsApp has rolled out the disappearing messages feature titled ‘view once’ to iOS beta users.

The new feature is similar to snaps on Snapchat.

According to ANI, the feature will disappear the attached images or videos after being viewed, which may prove for good confidential business-related chats.

Users, who want to find out if the feature is available to them, should look for an explanatory pop-up next time by sending an image or clip.

Reportedly, users will also see a blue-and-white ‘1’ icon in the caption text box.

The feature has already been rolled out to WhatsApp beta testers on Android.

Even the new messages will automatically disappear from a device and also from a recipient’s device once opened.

After a deletion, text reading ‘Opened’ will occur. Adding some more details like ‘when it was delivered and seen’ could be found through the Message Info Option.

Also, the setting will not affect the messages sent or received before activation.

However, the feature has some drawbacks, as the recipient can take screenshots of the user’s phone to stay image beyond the auto-delete.

The new feature is currently rolling out to iOS beta users, and there is no information on when this feature might roll out globally, neither there is any information on desktop feature yet.
