A voice, a photo, and a clear choice about sharing.
Text is a good first step. Once a private-chat invitation is accepted, images and voice notes add another way to express yourself. Media is opened by the recipient rather than automatically displayed. Sharing should always be a choice for both people.
Sending a voice note
Open an accepted private chat and tap the recording control. Your browser asks for microphone access. Record a short message, tap stop and send the prepared recording. The browser interface stops recording at 60 seconds. Voice recording needs HTTPS and a supported browser; the service has a 6 MB upload limit. Voice notes are recorded messages, not live voice calls.
Normal images and view-once images
Choose an image using the attachment control. Normal uploaded media has a 24-hour server expiry in this release. View-once media starts a 15-second access window when the recipient first opens it. A short retrieval window helps the browser load the image or audio, so “view once” should not be understood as proof that exactly one network request is possible.
Agreeing on a disappearing-chat timer
Either participant can propose a timer: 30 seconds, 5 minutes or 24 hours. The other participant must agree. New messages become eligible for expiry when the recipient marks the conversation as read. Changes apply to subsequent reads rather than rewriting every old message. Expired media is blocked at the server even before the background file cleanup runs.
What disappearing mode cannot do
A recipient can take a screenshot, record audio or use another device to capture the screen. Files already downloaded cannot be recalled. Timers are a way to limit availability inside this service, not a guarantee of secrecy. Send only content you are comfortable sharing, and report unwanted or abusive media.
