Open the WhatsApp app, then open the chat you&#8217;d like to send it in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2. Tap and hold the microphone icon in the bottom panel, and begin to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3. You&#8217;ll now see a new &#8216;1&#8217; icon at the bottom of the screen &#8211; tap this and it will set the voice note to View Once mode.\u00a0 This means the recipient can only play it once, and cannot export, forward, or save it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Meta-owned messaging app first introduced View Once for photos and videos back in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And from today, the feature is also available for voice notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To send a View Once voice note, open the WhatsApp app, then open the chat you&#8217;d like to send it in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tap and hold the microphone icon in the bottom panel, and begin to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll now see a new &#8216;1&#8217; icon at the bottom of the screen &#8211; tap this and it will set the voice note to View Once mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means the recipient can only play it once, and cannot export, forward, or save it.<\/p>\n<p>However, you yourself also won&#8217;t be able to listen to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;For consistency with View Once photos and videos, View Once voice messages are clearly marked with the &#8220;one-time&#8221; icon and can only be played one time,&#8217; WhatsApp said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As with all its messages, WhatsApp reassures that its View One voice notes will be end-to-end encrypted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The feature will roll out globally over the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>The new feature comes shortly after WhatsApp launched the ability to set Secret Codes on private chats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, the feature lets you set unique passwords on conversations, ensuring they stay away from any prying eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;We&#8217;re launching secret code, an additional way to protect those chats and make them harder to find if someone has access to your phone or you share a phone with someone else,&#8217; WhatsApp said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>BEST WHATSAPP ALTERNATIVES<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering deleting WhatsApp, you&#8217;ll be happy to hear that there are several alternative apps to choose from:<\/p>\n<p><span>1. Telegram<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span>With more than 400 million users, Telegram is one of the most popular WhatsApp alternatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While it looks very similar to WhatsApp, what sets it apart is the fact that it gives the\u00a0option to set messages to self-destruct after a given period of time, leaving no trace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Telegram also offers end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n<p>However, as a WhatsApp spokesperson pointed out, Telegram &#8216;does not offer end-to-end encryption by default so it\u2019s not necessarily more secure than WhatsApp&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><span>2. Signal\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Signal is one of the most secure messaging apps, thanks to the fact that it is open-source.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means that the code for the app is publicly available to view, making it near-impossible for the app&#8217;s creators to sneak in any backdoors that could allow governments or hackers to spy on your messages.<\/p>\n<p><span>3. iMessage<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you use an iPhone, you may consider simply switching to iMessage, Apple&#8217;s own messaging app.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The app has a number of impressive features included no character limits, the ability to send pictures and videos, and of course Apple&#8217;s animated emoji feature, Animoji.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, iMessage is only available for iPhone users, so you&#8217;ll struggle to interact with anyone using an Android.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>4. Google Messages<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s answer to iMessage is Google Messages, an Android-only messaging service.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The app replaces your standard SMS app, and integrates with all of Google&#8217;s apps and services, making it easy to share images or use Google Assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>5. Facebook Messenger<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you were put off using WhatsApp due to its sharing of data with Facebook, Facebook Messenger may not be the best option for you.<\/p>\n<p>However, the app offers a number of helpful features, including games, secret conversations and video calls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-12838029\/WhatsApp-lets-send-self-destructing-voice-notes-vanish-straight-theyve-played.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp now lets you send self-destructing voice notes that vanish straight after they&#8217;ve been played WhatsApp\u00a0has launched self-destructing &#8216;View Once&#8217;&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sharing gossip?
