What is a view once text? The view once text will not be available to view more than once and disappear from the conversation after the recipient opens it once, hence it will not possible to read the view once text for a second time. "Note that, since this feature is under development, the layout of the view once text bubble and the send button may change before the release," WABetaInfo added.

The Meta-owned messaging platform has been introducing new features from time to time and this feature is also likely to be launched soon. WhatsApp recently started rolling out a picture-in-picture (PiP) mode for video calls for select lucky Apple iPhone users. Users that download the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.24.0.79 version update from the TestFlight app may get the PiP mode for WhatsApp video calls, WABetaInfo said.
