Months ago, Mark Zuckerberg’s platform released temporary photos and videos, but this time it was the turn of the messages. All the information
The most used messaging platform in the world, WhatsAppworks on extending temporary messages by sending text messages that can only be read once, that is, they disappear once the recipient has seen them.
The app prepares a new type of temporary or ephemeral message that could already be seen in the beta for Android (version 2.22.25.20), where it is accompanied by a new send button with a padlock.
This new button present in the message composer is the one that indicates to the user that he is going to send a text message for a single reading. This will make the conversation disappear when the recipient opened and read it.
If the recipient tries to see it again, a small symbol with the number 1 and a notice that the text has expired will appear in its place, but you can ask the sender to send it again, as collected by the specialized WABEtainfo portal.
WhatsApp will implement temporary messages
This type of temporary message is preceded by an informative page, which details that given the private nature with which it was designed, it is not possible to take a screenshot, copy it, share it with other users or save it.
This is currently a feature in development which is expected to arrive in a future WhatsApp for Android update, first for beta users.
WhatsApp will incorporate temporary messages
As it happens in the images and videos that can be viewed for only one time, recipients will not be able to copy or forward the texts they received through this function once they view them.
As reported by the platform, the screenshots of this option may be blocked when it is updated in the future.

Whatsapp added 3D avatars
