Could you build this?
No Intercepting WhatsApp 'View Once' media requires reverse engineering WhatsApp's end-to-end encrypted protocol or hooking mobile OS memory/privileges, which constantly triggers anti-tamper mitigations and violates platform policies.
What it would actually take: Requires patching the WhatsApp Web WebSocket protocol or building a modified client (or rooted Android/Xposed module) to intercept ephemeral media buffers before decryption flags enforce deletion. This involves deep protocol reverse engineering (Noise Protocol, Signal protocol implementations) and continuous maintenance as Meta updates their client protocol and bans third-party clients.
