Imagine this: You're Ethan Hunt. You've just paraglided onto a busy New York City street. Your phone beeps. You pull it out of your pocket and ポルノ映画 長野 ホテル 究極fire up WhatsApp – you've got one voice note.

You hit play and it says, "This message will self-destruct in five seconds."

OK, we may have taken this a bit far, but something of the sort will soon be possible on WhatsApp. According to WaBetaInfo, the company is currently rolling out a "view once" mode for voice notes.

It works just as you'd expect: A new "view once" icon is available in the chat bar while recording a voice note. If you tap it, you'll enable the "view once" mode. As a result, the recipient can only listen to it once. They will also not have the option to export, forward, save, nor record it. Hell, and even you won't be able to listen to it after you send it.

To see the icon, you'll have to start recording a voice note with a tap and then pull upwards with your finger to lock into recording mode first.
