 WhatsApp’s UWP desktop app for Windows has just been updated with a slew of new capabilities. We just saw the Meta-owned messaging app gain Windows 11 design features early in 2022, as well as compatibility for dark mode. The business is currently developing the “View Once” functionality for media files, which allows users to send and receive vanishing pictures and videos to WhatsApp desktop app users. 

As per a credible WhatsApp beta tracker, the business just issued an upgrade to the beta version of its UWP client. The application has been updated to version 2.2212.2.0, which includes the “View Once” functionality. 

People can use this functionality to transmit media files to others that can only be seen once. When a person views a view once a picture or video is given to them, it shows for a brief while before being automatically erased from the chat. 

For those that are uninformed, the View Once functionality has been accessible on both the iOS and Android versions of WhatsApp since 2021. Whenever people share media material on WhatsApp, the function enhances their privacy. But receivers can still snap a screenshot or capture a screen video of the view once material before it is automatically removed. 

the new function in the WhatsApp UWP application is currently being developed and is being rolled out to a select group of beta testers. As a result, it may take a little time for it to be used in the stable version. 

Aside from that, the WhatsApp beta tracker spotted a new phone contact pop-up menu in the newest WhatsApp beta for Android (v2.22.8.11). Whenever a mobile number is touched in a chat window, this new update will display a pop-up menu with several alternatives. 

If the mobile number is not already in WhatsApp, users have 2 alternatives: call it using the default dialer application or add the number to their contacts. If the contact is present on WhatsApp, users will be given an extra “Chat with” choice to begin a chat with the person straight away. 

In terms of accessibility, this functionality is likewise limited to just a few beta testers but has not been introduced to the stable version. To remember, WhatsApp just debuted a slew of formerly beta voice message capabilities. As a result, there is a good likelihood that the abovementioned functionalities will be provided to the general public shortly.
