\u201cThe name\u2019s App, WhatsApp\u201d: Self-destructing voice messages coming to WhatsApp\u060c<\/p>\n
Voicemail on WhatsApp is going to get a lot more James Bond-ish very soon!<\/p>\n
The world's most popular chat app introduces the ability for users to send and receive self-destructing voice messages on its platform (via Engadget<\/a>). <\/p>\n There's a huge hunger for this type of “ephemeral data,” and if you don't believe it, take a look at this: In December 2019, an analytics report announced that Snapchat was the fifth most downloaded mobile app<\/a> of the decade. And you know what Snapchat was back then. HM hm.<\/p>\n Voice messages that are automatically deleted after being read join the other \u201cTop Confidential!\u201d \u00bb Messaging options already available to WhatsApp<\/a> users.

But if the recipient is in a noisy environment, has a temporary hearing loss problem, or just isn't paying much attention to the exact moment they're listening to what you sent them, be prepared to re-record and resend that message voice. .<\/p>\n WhatsApp plays it safe and says users should only send View Once voice messages to people they absolutely trust, because there are ways to bypass even self-destructing messages \u2013 that's how it works digital technology. For example, Android users can use the screen recording feature while they listen and anyone can use another camera<\/a> or an external microphone to capture the message.<\/p>\n The self-destructing voicemail option was brought up as early as mid-October, as we talked about it when it was in beta for some testers to play with.
