This is how easy it is to send an image within Signal, which is automatically destroyed when viewed by the other party. This is a similar concept that Snapchat came up with a few years ago - users can only view all photos once. This option is useful if you do not want the other party to be able to somehow save your photo to the photo gallery. Once this photo has been viewed, it will be automatically destroyed and there is no way for you to restore it. So next time you send a confidential photo, consider this option.
