WhatsApp Kept Message Feature Could Make Disappearing/ View Once Messages Less Private

Key Highlights

  • WhatsApp Kept message feature coming soon
  • Will allow saving View once messages temporarily
  • Will be available for both Android and iOS
  • Bookmark icon will be visible once kept message feature is used

WhatsApp has launched a plethora of features to its Android and iOS messaging app with several centered around privacy, while others dedicated to improve the messaging experience. Last year too, WhatsApp released multiple security features including the View once features for multimedia messages. This year too, the Meta-owned messaging application is working on multiple other new privacy-oriented features for both Android and iOS ecosystems. The ‘Kept message’ is one of the upcoming features which WhatsApp is testing with the beta builds that will allow users to even store view once messages.

WhatsApp Kept Message Might Make View Once Messages Less Private

WhatsApp has reportedly started working on the Kept messages feature for chats. This feature has been spotted in the testing phase by WABetaInfo. The screenshots shared by the publication confirm the development of the new messaging feature for WhatsApp. The latest feature is being released as another version of the disappearing message. Its primary function will be to temporarily save messages.

The Kept messages on WhatsApp will not get deleted automatically. However, they could be manually removed or un-kept. This one can do once the message has been read or isn’t required in the future. It is also being reported that users will get the option to save view once messages using the Kept message feature.

This might be a concern for the masses who are relying on the view once message for a private conversation. The ability to capture screenshots has been one of the biggest loopholes with the View once message feature on WhatsApp.

The option to temporarily save the View once message authentically using the Kept message feature could pave a way for additional loopholes with the privacy and security aspects related to the View once message option. Currently, WhatsApp is still testing the Kept message feature. Hence, the exact functionality as well as its availability would be difficult to anticipate.

It still remains to be seen if WhatsApp allows users to take screenshots with the Kept message option for the View once messages or not. If not, the privacy aspects seem to be hampered going forward. Nevertheless, the senders of the View once messages will be notified once Kept message feature is used to temporarily save the message. A bookmark icon will be displayed on the Kept message.

This bookmark icon will work as the primary symbol for the Kept message and will disappear once the user has un-kept the message. We are not yet aware when this Kept message feature is getting released in India and other markets but we will keep you updated.

Key Highlights

  • UPI apps have gained massive popularity in India
  • Paytm is the most commonly used UPI app
  • Paytm money can be retrieved when transferred to wrong account

Paytm is the biggest player in the UPI industry and is the first massive-scale digital payment system in India. Besides UPI payments and online transactions, Paytm has been rapidly expanding its services for online ticket reservations and bill payments. Ordering food and groceries and insurance is also an option with Paytm. With a wide range of services, Paytm’s popularity is consistently on the rise amongst both general as well as business users.

Paytm has also made online bank transfers a simplified process. You don’t necessarily have to keep your bank’s net banking details handy all the time. If you have a registered Paytm account, you can easily add your own bank details and do online transactions such as sending or receiving money.

Seamless digital payments services are why Paytm is popular amongst the audience. While transferring funds digitally to any bank account, you would need to enter the receiver’s bank account details. It is always suggested to cross-verify all the details such as the bank account number and IFSC code to avoid transfers to any wrong account.

But if in case you have accidentally transferred money to the wrong bank account, you should be aware of the procedure to retrieve the lost money. So what should you do if you have transferred money to any wrong account using Paytm? Read on the steps below:

What To Do If Transferred Money To Wrong Bank Account Using Paytm?

It is worth mentioning that Paytm doesn’t have the authority to directly claim or reverse the Paytm once the funds are transferred. Therefore, it is advised to re-check the banking details before any money transaction.

Step 1: If the funds have been sent to the wrong person, the first approach recommended by Paytm is to directly reach out to that person.

Step 2: You can either coordinate with the bank of the receiver or Paytm 24 x 7 help center to get the person’s details.

Step 3: If in case the receiver’s account is registered with Paytm via the Paytm wallet of Paytm Bank then Paytm will try contacting the receiver for consent to reverse the transferred funds.

Step 4: If in case the user gives consent, the funds will be transferred back immediately.

Step 5: If the recipient refuses to give back the money, you would have to take a legal approach for the same.
