For this reason you cannot open photos and videos that are viewed only once in WhatsApp Web
- WhatsApp highlighted that from November 1, 2022, users using the WhatsApp Web and Desktop versions will not be able to send or receive single-view media files.
- The reason for this decision is that the privacy of photos and videos shared by users needs to be strengthened, since it is very difficult to restrict screenshots on computers or laptops.
- Remember that WhatsApp Web It is used through browsers such as: Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc., it is difficult to avoid screenshots here because it is not directly your service, but a web page. Quite the opposite occurs with the mobile application, in this version they can manipulate it at will.
- The only way to view these files is with the help of your cell phone, otherwise the following notice will appear: “You have received a message to view only once. For more privacy, you can open it only from your phone”.
- We recommend keeping your cell phone nearby when using WhatsApp Web or Desktop.
- Keep in mind that people have the possibility to take a photo from another cell phone to the content you sent only once.
