Why use view once
4 min
Every photo or audio sent the usual way becomes a file stored on someone else's device, in a cloud backup and sometimes in a group. View once cuts that path: the content opens once and nothing is left.
You take the file out of circulation
Without view once the copy stays in the camera roll, in the backup and ready to be forwarded at any time — months later included. With single-open delivery the file is destroyed right after it's seen.
You know whether it was opened
Every send has its own status: paid, delivered and viewed. That answers the most common question when you send something sensitive: did they see it?
You can send without identifying yourself
On the anonymous SMS channel your number never shows up for the recipient. That's the difference between a discreet send and one that carries your identity along.
When it makes the most sense
Common uses when you'd rather leave no copy behind:
- A photo of a document, receipt or sensitive detail.
- A personal voice message that shouldn't be kept.
- Intimate content between consenting adults.
- A heads-up that must arrive without revealing the sender.

Create my view-once messageFrequently asked questions
Is view once the same as deleting later?
No. Deleting depends on you remembering and doesn't remove saved copies. Single-open delivery destroys the content automatically.
Does it work in every country?
WhatsApp and email work everywhere. Anonymous SMS is currently limited to Brazilian numbers.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay per send and the price shows before payment.
