Describe the bug

In the last few days I realized that it is no longer possible to download any viewOnce, I would like to know if there is already a possible solution for the download to be carried out.

@alechkos apparently the problem returned, now viewOnce does not activate the message event.

Yes, viewOnce stopped working again, WhatsApp fixed the bug and now blocks downloads of 'View Once' messages 😢.
This feature is restricted to platforms that can enforce content protection, like preventing screenshots or copying. So, it's mostly functional on mobile, but on web/desktop, users now get a message saying it's not supported.
