A document image or a casual photo you do not want sitting in the thread tomorrow. Opening it marks it viewed.

When view-once helps
Use it for a picture the other person should see once inside the chat, not for a secret you cannot survive if they point another camera at the screen.
In the app
A private chat, with the locks.
- A username instead of your phone number.
- App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
- A vault for files, away from the gallery.
- Friend chats and groups are free.

Does not help
Kissend does not detect a screenshot or a second camera. If that risk is unacceptable, do not send the image.

Help
Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Can I save view-once to the vault?
Save is for files you choose to keep. View-once is the opposite choice. Decide before you send.
Does the website have view-once?
No. The guest website chat is text only.
