WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to send voice notes that self-destruct after the recipient plays them once.
The feature is called "view once" mode and it is similar to the existing option for sending photos and videos that disappear after one view.
To use the feature, users need to tap the view once icon next to the timer while recording a voice note and then send it.
The recipient can replay the voice note as many times as they want on a dedicated listen page, but once they leave the page, the voice note will disappear from the chat.
The feature is intended to add some fun and privacy to voice messages, but it is not foolproof, as the recipient can still find ways to capture or record the voice note before it disappear
