WhatsApp has been working on many of new features and also some of have reached the last stage of development. The whatsapp messaging app will provide quick access to the multi-device feature to the beta testers, it is also expected to also roll out the View Once feature in the coming months. WhatsApp has reportedly taken signals from Snapchat for the View Once feature.
View Once feature allows users to send photos that can only be viewed once by the receiver. The message will remain on the app only till it is viewed. Once you have seen the message, it will get removed automatically. However, WhatsApp didn't stated out any feature to stop users from taking the screensnaps of the picture or message you have sent. As per Wabetainfo, WhatsApp has not states out the screenshot tracking feature to “guard users”.
“ The aim of WhatsApp is to be confirmed that you rightly use this new feature, avoiding any critical situation, but that's not the real issue. Unfortunately, there are many ways to detour screenshots detection, in seperate on WhatsApp for Android: there are many apps that are able to evade the operating system, so they can secretly take screenshots or video recordings without sending any acknowledgement,” the wabetainfo read.
So the View Once feature is not so much usefull unless WhatsApp adds the feature that detect screenshots. In the recent situation, the sender will never get notified that a screenshot of his message or picture has been taken by the receiver. "When an application ensures that screenshots are blocked or notified, the sender could send something private, being sure that the media won’t be shared with outsiders of conversation , but the recipient is eligible take a photo from another phone,” the report states.
WhatsApp can provide a acknowledgment to users saying that the receiver can take a screenshot, so the sender should be careful with the media they are sending. Said by Wabetainfo that WhatsApp providing its users to secure safe practices when transferring photos using View Once feature. The company thinks that if the feature to track screenshots is applied, users would feel secured and send whatever they want to share with whom , but it's not that much secured , the receiver can click picture with another phone and can share them with any one. So it is always said to share media that is not very important on social platforms
