WhatsApp is the most used messaging platform in the world. There are over two billion monthly users of the green app, which always manages to evolve with really interesting new features. The continuous updates of Meta are one of the reasons that push more and more people to choose WhatsApp. What can you do with the famous application? Of course, chat with friends, family, partners, work colleagues, often even in group chats.
In addition, with WhatsApp you can send and receive photos, videos and documents: in the same way you can send or receive voice messages. That’s not all, because with this tool you can also call, video call, Publish Storiesupdate your status and much more. Of course there are also some ‘cons’ that are worth analyzing.
The trick to protect the photos and videos you send on WhatsApp
For example, on WhatsApp it is not always easy to protect all your data. The risk of information shared on the green app ending up in the wrong hands is not so low. The developers of what is certainly one of the most used applications in the world know this well: this is why a function that should help users was recently launched.

This is the feature that allows messages sent on WhatsApp to be self-destruct after some time. This way, if private photos or videos are sent, there is no risk of these multimedia elements spreading on the platform. But how do you activate the function that makes messages visible only once? The procedure is very simple.
All you have to do is pick up your phone, log into WhatsApp, and start a chat conversation with a contact. Once inside you have to choose the photo and video you want to send: alternatively, you can also take a photo directly while chatting.
The system to ensure self-destruction of messages: here’s how it’s done
Usually you send the multimedia element by pressing the green button: to make the message self-destruct instead you have to click on the circle with the number ‘1’ inside which is located next to the space where you write captions in addition to the photo. Once this is done, the content you are sending in chat will be visible only once, and then disappear.
Clearly this is a method that raises the security standards considerably, but it does not completely exclude the risk of diffusion of your photos: the other person, in fact, could also do one screenshot of the sent image.
