WaBetaInfo has reported that WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is introducing a new feature allowing users to send audio messages that can be played only once. This feature, called “audio messages”, will be included in the upcoming version 2.23.7.8 update of the messaging app. The feature is still in development and will provide enhanced privacy by allowing the audio messages to be played only once when opened. WhatsApp already has a feature that allows users to send photos and videos that can be viewed only once, and now it is focusing on developing the audio message feature.
“Audio messages sent by using this mode will be playable only once. As happens with the view once images and videos, audio messages sent as view once cannot be saved, forwarded, or recorded, for added privacy,” said the app-tracking website.
This feature would provide better privacy and security of communication to its users as the audio message will only be allowed to play once, reducing the risk of someone else being able to listen or access the voice note later.
This feature would help in protecting sensitive and confidential information sent by one person to another via the messaging app.
