Keep the 100 Ksh but ,view-once images are normal end-to-end encrypted media, but the app itself enforces the rule by deleting the file after one open and blocking screenshots/forwarding client-side. Typing indicators work over a persistent real-time connection (WebSocket-style), where the sender’s app pushes a tiny “composing” event that the server instantly relays to the recipient’s open chat.

Mapessah :
“View once” media is basically controlled access from the server. When you send it, the server marks that file as one-time only instead of normal media. The receiver can open it once, and immediately the server flags it as “already viewed” and blocks any future access. The app also deletes the file locally after viewing. So ni kama system inasema “umeiona, imeisha”—but it’s not perfect security since someone anaweza record na device ingine.
The typing indicator (“…”) is just fast real-time signals. When you start typing, your app sends a small event to the server saying “this user is typing.” The server instantly forwards it to the other person so they see the dots. When you stop typing or send the message, another event clears it. Nothing is stored—ni live signals tu zinapita, very lightweight. Hii inatumia web sockets.

Kuna kitu inaitwa websockets, as for media, when optimizing for performance, all media is resized and shrank to be able to process more data quick then it's tagged with a tracking id, when one user marks it as view once, display variables coupled up with small javascript

hiding it's Oop, there is a database that stores information and status so message is the image is sent the metadata storage is encrypted to be temporary on the receivers data. Hiyo ya 'typing' there is an 'object' typing this one works on realtime and it's temporary the message is going direct to encrypted database then once they're done typing the message is delivered to end user

the typing is simple...Use Socket.IO for realtime event transmission

view once media works by using a temporary encryption key that permanently deletes the file from the recipients phone storage immediately after viewing. while the typing indicator works by instantly sending tiny realtime data packets to the server the second you are keyboard detects a keystroke...

Ya typing I think ni websockets api cause they are usually one time, for view once I think it's just code like if user open then disable but I think when you open with developer tools in WhatsApp web you can inspect, hiyo 100 kula chapo😂

When you send a view once media, it is first encrypted on your device then sent to Whatsapp servers which store the media temporarily. When the recipient opens, the app decrypts it. The app reports that it has been viewed and marks it as viewed in the db so it can't be opened again. For the typing tag, I'm thinking websockets which is quite easy to replicate.
