New Delhi: WhatsApp is testing a new ‘View Once’ functionality on Windows that will allow users to access photos and videos they only need to see once. It was discovered in a beta version of WhatsApp Universal Windows Platform (UWP) which is currently being used for testing purposes. Separately, WhatsApp has started testing a new pop-up menu for phone numbers received in messages, which allows you to select whether to call the number or add it to your contacts by tapping it in chat.
WhatsApp for Windows beta 2.2212.2.0 has been released for early testers to see shared photos and videos using the “View Once” feature, according to WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo. However, the beta version does not allow you to send multimedia information that can only be viewed once.
The Watch Once option was made available to Android and iPhone users last year. It allows users to make photos and videos they post on WhatsApp disappear once the recipient views them. The recipient, on the other hand, can take screenshots or record the screen on their devices to preserve the photos and videos given with the feature.
WhatsApp for Android beta 2.22.8.11 has been released with the pop-up menu that appears when you press an available phone number in chat, along with the beta version for Windows beta testers. It gives you the option to call the number directly with the default app or to add it to your contact list.
If the phone number is already active on WhatsApp, users can speak directly to their contacts through the menu. According to WABetaInfo, the new pop-up menu is rolling out to some beta testers. A screenshot of the encounter was also uploaded to the website. However, no specific date has been set when the feature would be offered to regular users.

However, no specific date has been set when the feature would be offered to regular users. WhatsApp fixed an issue that caused the chat button to appear in the chat list incorrectly, according to WABetaInfo. WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.22.8.10 includes it.
A green dot will appear in WhatsApp settings in the beta to alert testers to verify the India Terms of Service update reminder. The upgrade is part of the requirements of WhatsApp and other social media companies under the new IT regulations in the country.
