Got an Offensive WhatsApp View Once Image? Take action against the perpetrator in this way

On the WhatsApp View Once feature, images and videos disappear after some time and this can lead to a wave of abusive messages. Take action against the perpetrator in this way.

To make the chats more private, WhatsApp had introduced the View Once media feature that allows users to send images and videos that disappear once the user opens the message and exits the media viewer. This also means: “Once they exit the media viewer, the media will no longer be visible in that chat and they will no longer be able to view it. Photos and videos once viewed are not stored in the recipient’s Photos or Gallery and cannot be forwarded.”

Not only that, WhatsApp says that taking a photo on phones means it takes up storage space forever. This View Once feature ensures that the messages are private and that the storage space in the phone does not become full.

However, every new feature also has its downside! While WhatsApp’s View Once feature is intended to provide more privacy, there can be times when it is misused. For example, if a sender shares offensive photos or videos while retaining the View Once feature, they will not be included in the backup. In such cases, WhatsApp offers you the option to report the sender if you find them offensive or derogatory. Here’s everything you need to do.
