The confidentiality of WhatsApp messages is the agenda. And we all have conversations that we prefer to keep in private. Either an indiscreet message, a comment on the boss, or simply something personal You don't want me to be stored forever. Fortunately, WhatsApp continues to add functions to protect our privacy, and today we are going to talk about the one who goes unnoticed: audios who are only heard once, or audios with self-destruction.
The voice is personal, maybe too much. Although a written message can always be refused (“I didn't write that”), with the voice, it's different. Your bell, your expressions, your crutches … The voice is almost like a fingerprint that immediately identifies you. In fact, there are banks that have a kind of “vocal identifier” to do operations. Therefore, when you send an audio, the risk is much higher than with a simple text. Therefore, the important thing here is that WhatsApp offers us a way to protect voice messages which, by their nature, are much more personal and identifiable.
Photos with self-destruction, and yes, also audios
Photos with self-destruction are part of our daily life. We use them so that there is no trace or simply so that they do not occupy storage on our iPhone. But and the audios? Well, you can also, and The function has always been thereAlmost hidden, without many of us realizing.
Messages with self-destruction or that only allow visualization have special characteristics:
- They remain available for 14 days to be opened
- Once heard or seen, they automatically disappear
- They cannot be transmitted
- They cannot be saved on the device
- They cannot be highlighted as important messages
And it is not necessary to be a politician to want this function: work problems, with the couple, a divorce process … there can be So many situations In which we do not want some audios to reveal themselves, which is normal for us to know how to protect ourselves.
How to send audios by WhatsApp to hear only once
When you see where the option is, you can tell yourself, like me: “But how have I not noticed before?”
- Open the conversation where you want to send the audio.
- Hold the microphone icon to start recording.
- Put the “hands without the hands” of the audio sliding your finger upwards.
- As you save, read the symbol with the number “1” that will appear on the screen.
- The icon will be green, indicating that the function is activated.
- Finish and send your audio.
When the recipient receives your message, he will see that it is a temporary audio. Once I listened and returned to discussYou can only see that the message was “open”But you will no longer be able to access him. The audio will have disappeared forever.
And yes, they can always record with a voice recorder, with another iPhone and open vocal notes … In the end, the best strategy is not technical, but common sense. What you don't want to know, don't record it on Whatsapp. But of course, the possibility of sending an audio and which is only heard once is a big step. Confidentiality is increasingly precious, and each small tool that helps us protect it is worth it.
