WhatsApp will restrict its users from taking in-app screenshots anymore

Famous instant messaging app WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is introducing a new feature that will let users prevent screenshots of their "see once" photos and videos.

Another amazing and eagerly anticipated feature for its customers has returned from WhatsApp. The rapid messaging service is testing a feature that prevents users from recording or taking screenshots of the media provided in a single view.

Some beta testers will get the feature, according to WABetaInfo, a WhatsApp inspector 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 transmitted to “View Once” on WhatsApp was launched 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, except WhatsApp.

Nowadays it wants to “prevent” users from recording WhatsApp media sent on one view as it works on the platform’s privacy features.

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 received with the “View Once” option.

WhatsApp will display a pop-up message that reads “banned for privacy features” if a user attempts to take a screenshot. There is no way to disable the new privacy setting.

Although, there are two restrictions. Firstly, the screenshot blocker only pertains to material like images or videos, so users can still screenshot conversational communications that are scheduled to vanish. The second is that it is powerless to stop images or videos of the vanished media from being captured on a different device.

There is not any date decided yet when the feature made available to the public.
