Social media is on fire after a video went viral showing a WhatsApp user typing something odd right before “previewing” a photo—without marking it as opened.
A clock icon was still next to the photo… yet he had clearly seen it.
The clip, originally posted on Instagram, shows a user in a chat named Mood Rose. At 21:20, he appears to respond to a photo using a keyboard command like .vv or .view, before the “Opened” status even updates.
Is This a Real Trick?
Many viewers claim this may be using a loophole in WhatsApp’s preview system or a modified version of the app (WhatsApp Plus, GBWhatsApp, etc.) that bypasses read receipts for media.
Others argue it could be screen mirroring, or a quick screenshot before the image officially opens, keeping the status untouched.
Here’s What to Know:
- Official WhatsApp has no “.view” command. If you see this, it’s either a modded version or a scripting trick.
- This may violate WhatsApp’s terms. Using third-party apps to bypass privacy features can lead to account bans.
- But the clip has sparked serious curiosity—does WhatsApp really have a bug or trick like this?
