Key Highlights:


•  'View Once' Content on Linked Devices – Previously, 'View Once' photos, videos, and voice messages could only be viewed on the primary device. Now, beta users can access them on linked devices like PCs, tablets, or secondary smartphones.


•  Available in Beta Version – This feature is currently being tested in WhatsApp beta version 2.25.3.7 for Android. If you're a beta user, check for the update!


• Seamless Multi-Device Experience – Users no longer have to rely only on their main device to view 'View Once' messages. This makes WhatsApp’s multi-device functionality even better.


• Caution Needed – Even though WhatsApp restricts saving or forwarding 'View Once' content, recipients can still take screenshots or use external methods to capture it. Always share sensitive media carefully.


• Expected Wider Rollout Soon – While currently available for select beta testers, this feature will likely roll out to all users in the coming updates.
