There is no doubt that WhatsApp is like a companion for millions of people. Because it not only connects you for personal chat but also helps in your work. It keeps you equally connected to the office. WhatsApp also takes care that the experience of its users is better and for this, it is constantly working on new features. One such feature is the View Once feature, using which, a person can send a photo to another WhatsApp user and as soon as the user views the photo, that photo disappears. That is, the viewer can neither view the View Once photo again, save it, nor take a screenshot of it. It is considered a safe feature. But it is not that safe. There is a flaw in this feature as well.

A serious flaw has been found in WhatsApp's View Once feature which can put the user's privacy at risk. It has been found that instead of the photo sent through the View Once feature disappearing even after being viewed, the receiver of the shared media can access it at any time. It is worth noting that this flaw is working only on iPhones. If you understand this in simple language, then the iPhone user can access your View Once photo not once, but repeatedly. Know how here:
