Send a view-once photo
A view-once photo can be opened once. After the other person has seen it, it cannot be opened again, saved or copied, and the bubble says Viewed.
To send one, choose a photo and turn on View once before you send it.
View once stops the app from keeping the photo. It cannot stop someone photographing their screen with another device, so only send what you would be comfortable with them keeping.
