Can You Take Screenshots of WhatsApp View Once Photos?

No. According to the WhatsApp FAQ page, you can't take a screenshot of WhatsApp view once media you receive. WhatsApp will disable screenshot when you view the view once media. Besides, if you don't open the view once media within two weeks, it will expire from the chat.

Part 1. Recover WhatsApp View Once Photo iPhone

This way helps you find the original file of that view once media. Generally, when you receive a view once photo or video, it will be saved as the WhatsApp cache on your iPhone, but won't be viewed on the Gallery app. Moreover, the cache files will be auto-deleted shortly after you view them. So, how to recover WhatsApp view once photo on iPhone?

You need a recovery tool such as imyPass iPhone Data Recovery. It scans your iPhone and lists all files – including the already deleted – for you and recovers the files you selected. More importantly, the shorter you use it to recover files after you check the view once photo, the higher the successful rates will be. See how to get back the WhatsApp view once media:

Once your device is successfully connected, you will see your iPhone model. Now, click the Start Scan button.

Find the media you viewed and check the box before them. Click the Recover button at the bottom right corner.

Now, you can check the view once data on your computer. You can tell that recovering WhatsApp view once photo is technically recovering the auto-deleted WhatsApp photo. If you want to recover manually deleted WhatsApp photos, this guide also works.

Once you can view your iPhone screen on your computer, you can use the Mac screenshot function to save the view once photos on WhatsApp. This guide will show you how to quickly mirror iPhone screen to Mac and take screenshots on Mac.

Note: Your iPhone has to run iOS 18 and Mac has to run macOS 15 and later.
