It is not new to hear about confidential conversations with loved ones or necessary workplace chats being leaked. Also, in many cases there is a risk of leakage of pictures or information while sharing private or confidential pictures on WhatsApp. But there is a feature in WhatsApp that can be used to get rid of this fear.

On WhatsApp

This special feature of WhatsApp is called “View One Feature”. The feature through which users can maintain their privacy. If someone turns on this feature before sending a secret photo, the recipient will only be able to see the photo once. Can't watch it a second time.

Also, after sharing a photo, you can't view it yourself. Also, after sending the picture, the picture can no longer be opened on the other user's chat page.

The WhatsApp user with whom the photo is shared cannot forward it to any third party, nor can they take a screenshot of the photo. Again the image cannot be forwarded. Actually with this feature the screen gets locked as soon as the image is opened. A screen lock means that this image cannot be leaked in any way.

How to use WhatsApp View One feature?

First go to WhatsApp.
Go there and come to the chat page of the person you want to send the picture to.
Now tap on the attachment icon and go to gallery.
Then select the images you want to send from the folder.
Before sending the image you need to click on “Ones” to the right of “Add a caption”.
After clicking once a pop up will appear on the screen. In which will be written "Photo Set to You Ones".
Now you can send the photo by tapping on the green arrow on the right side.
