The “Single View” feature in Whatsapp lets you send images that can only be viewed once by the recipient.
That is, when you send a photo or video with this option turned on, the recipient will be able to open it only once, after which the media will disappear from the conversation. This helps ensure that the photo is not re-accessed or shared inappropriately.
