OwhatsApp users already have the possibility to send photos, videos and audio messages as a unique view, but it seems that in the future it will also be possible to send text messages with unique view.
It is said that wABetaInf websiteo, which states that functionality is now available to some users of the beta version of WhatsApp for Android phones.
As with photos, videos and audio messages sent through the unique viewing functionality, text messages sent in this way will no longer be visible after they are viewed. The idea is to give users greater control over more sensitive communications, thus ensuring that it is not possible to send to other contacts.
Note that these unique display messages cannot be screened, which means that you will need to use an external camera to be able to photograph the contents of the message.
It is important to stress that a unique display text message is not visible as soon as it is sent. For the recipient to be able to read the message, you must first press it so that it is visible in a separate interface. Once closed, it will not be possible to open it again and the sender will be informed that the unique display text message has been read (if the reading receipts are active).
Users who send unique display text messages can communicate by writing the message and, when they want to send it, press the green button for a few moments. Of course, sending these messages cannot be scheduled for later.
It is important to remember that WhatsApp has not yet revealed when it will launch this feature for all users the message app, but, given that it is already available in the beta version, it is possible that we will not have to wait too long for that moment.
