WhatsApp’s One-Time Photo Feature is an excellent way to share photos that you’re comfortable being viewed just once. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through how to quickly and easily send a one-time photo on WhatsApp.
How to Send a One-Time Photo on WhatsApp
- Open the WhatsApp application on your phone.
- You will be taken to a chat list page. From here, select and open a chat where you want to send the one-time photo.
- In the chat window, tap on the camera icon found on the bottom panel of your screen.
- Capture a photo using your device’s camera.
- Tap the circle at the caption bar. This circle will display the number ‘1,’ indicating that the media can only be viewed once.
- Finally, tap on send. Now, after the recipient opens the photo, it will disappear from the conversation after it’s viewed, and they cannot replay or view it twice.
- Additionally, you can send text in this mode by selecting a background for it and sending it as a ‘view once’ message.
Following these simple steps will help you take and send a one-time photo on WhatsApp, ensuring that your photos are viewed only once when necessary.
