WhatsApp's new features, photos, and videos will be automatically deleted as soon as you see them Instant messaging app WhatsApp has introduced a new feature for sharing photos and videos for its users. The company has unveiled a beta version of the "View Once" feature for iOS and Android users. Under this feature, users who receive a photo or video sent by a user will be automatically removed from the chatbox once viewed. This is a feature already available on Instagram. But on Instagram, users can view photos/videos once and then a second time. On WhatsApp, you will not be able to watch the video once you have watched it again. Snapchat has started this feature on social media.
