WhatsApp has a new official surprise for iPhone and Android phones around the world, the company behind the messaging application wanting to offer people only the best experience for using the platform. In this idea, those at WhatsApp are preparing to announce a new special function for users all over the world, which will allow the sending of self-destructing photos and videos from iPhone and Android.
WhatsApp will offer users the opportunity to send pictures and videos that will be seen only once by the people who receive them, after which they will automatically disappear forever. WhatsApp implements here a functionality very similar to the one that already exists in Snapchat for a very long time, but also in other social media applications, so we are not talking about reinventing something for people, but only about offering something that people have been asking for a long time.
WhatsApp: The Official Surprise from iPhone, Android Phones
However, WhatsApp will not act like Snapchat, that is, it will not implement a system that automatically detects if the person who receives the picture or video has taken a screenshot to save that content. Here is a very important mention that WhatsApp will make in an alert for the description of the function, it being already available in the beta versions of the application, people will be told to be careful what kind of pictures they send to their friends through this system.
WhatsApp integrates for iPhone and Android phones a functionality that in the case of Snapchat is usually used to send pictures and videos with people in intimate poses. It is expected that in the case of WhatsApp, the function will be used in the same way by people because the idea that that content disappears immediately after it is opened gives people the courage to send anything just in the idea that everything is temporarily visible to those who receive the pictures and video clips.
WhatsApp will launch the new functionality in all iPhone and Android phones, but for now no one knows very clearly when exactly everything will be officially available for us.
