VIEW ONCE
WhatsApp keeps working on the new Windows beta app by adding missing features. After adding the sticker tab that lists all the stickers you have favorited on the desktop app, WhatsApp is now introducing the support for view once photos and videos:
As you can see in this screenshot, it wasn't possible to open view once photos and videos in a previous update because the message was not supported, since the support for this feature was not ready. In the latest WhatsApp beta UWP 2.2212.2.0 update, WhatsApp has finally introduced the ability to open view once photos and videos. Unfortunately, it is still not possible to send view once photos and videos, but this feature is planned to be released in a future update, so be sure to keep up to date your WhatsApp beta build from the Microsoft Store.
