shut up it totally is
but what if they steal it and sell it because it's valuable art
i know, i'll just use a single view image!
more specifically, whatsapp-web.js
whatsapp web disabled single view media functionality, requiring you to use your phone
but... the media is still sent to the browser
using a custom userbot script, it is possible to retrieve the message media
if (message.hasQuotedMsg && message.body == "!view") {
var quotedMsg = await message.getQuotedMessage();
if (!quotedMsg.hasMedia) return;
var media = await quotedMsg.getQuotedMessage();
await message.reply(new MessageMedia(onetime.mimetype, onetime.data, onetime.filename, onetime.filesize));
}
i tried responsibly disclosing this to whatsapp, but they ignored me
