WhatsApp will not allow to take screenshots anymore
Another exciting and eagerly anticipated feature for its users has returned from WhatsApp. The instant messaging service is testing a feature that prevents users from recording or taking screenshots of the media sent in a single view.
Some beta testers will see the feature, according to WABetaInfo, a WhatsApp watchdog known for keeping an eye on the most recent updates in WhatsApp betas and its most recent releases.
A feature that allows any image to be sent to “View Once” on WhatsApp was introduced last year. This feature is similar to Instagram and Snapchat in that it allows the image to vanish after it has been opened. These apps alert the sender if the recipient screenshots their media, unlike WhatsApp.
It now wants to “block” users from recording WhatsApp media sent on one view as it works on the platform’s privacy features.
WhatsApp will not allow to take screenshots anymore
Some iPhone users running WhatsApp beta 22.21.0.71 (build 405622068) can find the most recent release on TestFlight, but they won’t be able to screenshot content sent with the “View Once” option.
WhatsApp will display a pop-up message that reads “blocked for added privacy” if a user attempts to take a screenshot. There is no way to disable the new privacy setting.
When the feature will be made available to the general public is currently unknown.
