WhatsApp brings a one-time viewing feature to text messages so that users can share sensitive information more securely.
AI-generated summary
WhatsApp currently offers the 'View Once' feature for photos, videos and audio messages.
WhatsApp started testing a new feature so that users can share sensitive information more securely.
According to WABetaInfo, the "View Once" option will now be available not only for photos, videos and voice messages, but also for text messages.
The feature was made available to some test users in WhatsApp beta 2.26.45.6 for Android.
THE MESSAGE CAN BE READ ONCE
With the new feature, text messages sent will not appear directly on the chat screen.
After the recipient taps the message, the content will open on a separate screen. When this screen is closed, the message will no longer be displayed.
There will be a sign in the chat indicating that the message has been opened. For users with read receipts turned on, the sender will also be able to see when the message was viewed.
HOW WILL IT BE SENT?
The user who wants to send a one-time message will first need to write his message and then press and hold the send button.
When the “View Once” option is selected in the menu that opens, the message will be sent in this format.
It was stated that there is also a message scheduling option in the same menu, but one-time messages cannot be scheduled for now.
SCREENSHOTS CANNOT BE TAKEN
Security measures will also be increased for one-time messages.
The recipient will not be able to copy the message, forward it to another user, or save it. Taking screenshots and recording screens while the message is open will also be prevented.
Once the message is read, it will be removed from both parties' chat history.
IT WILL GRADUALLY EXPAND
WhatsApp is expected to open the feature to more beta users in the coming weeks.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
The feature will be rolled out to more beta users in the coming weeks.

The global outage in Microsoft's core services such as Outlook, Teams and Copilot has been continuing for 12 hours. While the company stated that the problem was not caused by a cyber attack, recurring disruptions raise corporate reliability concerns.

NGOs led by the Alliance for Secure AI filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI and SpaceX Super Intelligence on the grounds that artificial intelligence systems pose serious risks to humanity and cannot be controlled.
There were interruptions in access to Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams for more than 12 hours. While Microsoft announced that it could not resolve infrastructure load and server problems, the crisis also affected OpenAI and Anthropic.
