WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform, is rolling out a new feature for its beta testers: disappearing voice messages. This feature, similar to the ‘View Once’ feature for photos and videos, allows users to send voice messages that can be listened to only once. Once the recipient hears the message, it disappears, and they can’t save or forward it.
