▶ WhatsApp will have photos that self-destruct like Telegram

Those responsible for WhatsApp seem desperate to prevent users from leaving for other instant messaging platforms in search of better security . The idea that the chat service could share information with Facebook (and the many unfounded rumors about it) have caused an exodus of users that the platform tries to stop.

The latest attempt to prevent users from leaving is to copy one of Telegram's features: photos that self-destructThis means that, very soon, the images that we pass through the chat service will not be saved forever, but we can choose to have them disappear when the other person leaves the chat.

Photos that only last as long as the chat is open

According to what we have been able to read on the WaBetaInfo Twitter account, the program is already testing the idea of short-term photos. As soon as someone sends us an image, a message will appear warning us that the photo will disappear as soon as we leave the chat Once that image is open, a message will also appear on it indicating that, when we leave the conversation, we will no longer be able to access said photo.

This implies that, if we have sent an image of a more personal nature, we will not have to worry about what might happen to that image later.Once the person to whom we have sent it leaves the conversation with us, the image will be deleted forever This can give us a feeling of greater privacy .

What about screenshots?

Of course, even if the photo is destroyed instantly, there is always the possibility that the person we send it to decides to take a screenshot .

In principle, there seems to be no indication that WhatsApp intends to introduce any method to control that these captures cannot be made Nor does it appear that in First, they will send the sender of the message a notice that they have captured their photo. Therefore, the danger of the other person keeping our photo is still there.

No photos can be exported

Of course, the screenshots will be the only way that the other person will have to keep a photo that we have sent.As soon as we decide that it is a self-destructing photo, the application will not allow us to export the photo or share it on another social network Not even on Facebook or Instagram, which are associates of the company. The capture option is still there, but there will be no other way to save the image.

All of this can cause us to have a false sense of security As the photo will not be stored on the phone of the other person nor will it be able to be shared, we can easily think that no one will be able to access it other than the person to whom we have sent it. But the fact that screenshots are allowed means that no matter how much we use this new security system, the possibility of it ending up in the wrong hands still exists.

When you send a photo you lose control

Although without a doubt everything that improves security in WhatsApp is good news, we must not forget a maxim.And it is that once we have sent a photograph to someone we completely lose control over it Even using this mode of self-destructing images, there is always the possibility that the other takes a screenshot or even shows it to another person who is next to him at that moment, so that our privacy is in question.
