How view-once sending works
4 min
View once means the content opens a single time and disappears. Here the process doesn't depend on any app: you send the photo or audio, the system creates an unpredictable link and, after the first open, the file is deleted from the servers.
The sending steps
The flow is short and needs no sign-up. In a couple of minutes the recipient already has the link.
- Pick the content type: photo, audio, video (up to 25 MB and 30 seconds) or text (up to 500 characters).
- Pick the country and delivery channel: WhatsApp, anonymous SMS or email.
- Add a short optional message alongside the link.
- Pay by card or Pix and the link is released right away.
- Follow payment, delivery and view status in My sends.
What happens after they open it
On the first open the content is delivered and immediately marked as consumed. The same link won't open a second time, on any device or browser.
If nobody opens it within 24 hours, the send expires on its own and the file is destroyed anyway.
Where the file is stored
Photos and audio live in private storage with no public address. Delivery goes through the server at open time, so no file URL is floating around.
No copy is published on social networks or indexed by search engines.
What view once does not do
No technology stops someone from photographing the screen with another phone. View once removes the copy kept on the device and in the chat history — not the memory of whoever saw it.
Send your view-once photo, audio, video or text
Pick the content and the channel: the recipient opens it once and everything is erased.

Do I need an account to send?
No. Sending happens right on the page and your history is tied to your own device.
Does the recipient need to install anything?
No. The link opens in any phone or desktop browser.
How long is the link valid?
Until the first open or 24 hours, whichever comes first.
