The ‘View Once’ feature has been on WhatsApp for a while now — the feature allows users to share images that can be only opened once, post which they are deleted forever from the feed, making it a fun way to send discrete messages that don’t leave a trail.

While the feature has been active on iOS and Android for a while now, those messages weren’t compatible on WhatsApp for Windows. Whenever someone would share such a message, the app would ask the user to view it on the phone. 

However, leaked screenshots revealed by trusty tipster WABetaInfo show the feature being active on WhatsApp for Windows. The feature is still being spotted on select beta users, however, from the looks of it the feature could soon be rolled out for more users. 

Alternatively, WABetaInfo has revealed that a new pop-up menu allows users to interact with an unknown number on a particular chat. In the beta version of the app 2.22.8.11, when a user taps on an unknown number on a WhatsApp chat, it offers them the option to either call them directly via WhatsApp or even message them if it has been already registered on the messaging app.

The popup will also allow users to either chat with the user directly or add them to the contacts from the pop-up menu. The feature was first spotted among a select group of beta testers, however more users have been added to a list and the feature is soon expected to be rolled out to the masses.
