Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): After seeing the status entered by friends and close people, you must have felt that at some time I wish I could download the photo or video seen in WhatsApp Status. Today we are going to tell you about some important steps. By using this method, you will be able to download favorite WhatsApp Status in a pinch.
As seen in the screenshots shared by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo of WhatsApp 2.20.201.6 beta, the instant messaging app will inform users receiving the message about the expiring media feature via a pop-up message. This pop-up message will say, “This media will disappear once you leave this chat” (This media file will disappear as soon as you leave the chat). This message will be visible to the user on the shared media file using the new feature.
Apart from this, in a screenshot shared through the source, it can also be seen that as soon as the user receiving the message leaves the chat, a bubble will appear which will say “View once photo expired”. WhatsApp will also introduce a dedicated button for this feature, which will help in sending files enabling the expiring media feature, this button can be called View Once.
The reference is a part of the latest WhatsApp beta version, though the feature is not visible to end-users. However, in terms of the information revealed earlier, this feature is progressing, it can be expected that in the future it can be made available to at least beta testers.
Apart from expiring messaging features, it can also bring some new features, which have been part of the app’s plans for some time. Last month, clear evidence of this was seen in WhatsApp 2.20.197.10 beta.
Let me tell you, WhatsApp’s expiring media feature is very similar to Instagram, in which the photos and videos sent by users in direct messages disappear automatically.
