View Once

This is a feature that originated in Snapchat and the other social media platforms followed suit. It lets users send View Once aka disappearing photos and videos that the recipient can view only once before they vanish. So, if users send such a media file, then it will be deleted after the recipient has opened and viewed them once. It can be used for sending sensitive or temporary information such as passports but recipients can take screenshots and save the information.

Chat Transfer Between Android and iOS

Another useful feature is the ability to transfer chats between Android and iOS and vice versa. You can use the Smart Switch feature to backup the WhatsApp chat history and files and transfer these to any device irrespective of the OS.

Multi-Device Support

Recently, WhatsApp hit the headlines as it introduced the support to use the instant messaging platform on multiple PCs and laptops sans the necessity to mirror it from the primary smartphone. Besides this, WhatsApp Web already lets users connect their phone to the internet and use the messaging platform on their laptop or PC.
