A privacy flaw in WhatsApp, an instant messenger with over 2 billion users worldwide, is being exploited by attackers to bypass the app’s “View once” feature and view messages again.

    I was skeptical reading the headline but changed my mind after reading their advertising:

    The recipient also can’t take a screenshot of anything you send using view once.

    Like, you can’t just say things like that. Complete privacy doesn’t exist. Signal has a similar feature, and while they don’t explicitly say “anyone can save this message on the other end”, they also don’t advertise it as completely private.
