Profile picture screenshot option closed for these users on WhatsApp, know what will be the changes

WhatsApp is a messaging app that is popular worldwide and is used in India for a variety of reasons, including keeping in touch with friends and family. WhatsApp works tirelessly to give its users the greatest possible experience.

Maintaining this pattern, the company consistently releases new features. The app has been readying the platform for a while to make a significant change in user security, which is now live. We are referring to the block that the app introduced for Samsung devices, which is the profile picture screenshot.

Information found in media report:

• WhatsApp is preventing users from taking screenshots of other users' profile pictures on their smartphones. This is a new privacy feature available on Android handsets.
• Meta began testing the functionality on a beta version of the app over the past few weeks and is now enabling it for all users.
• Meta hasn't shared details of this privacy functionality yet, but the rollout was spotted by Android Police.
• Users on the stable and beta versions of WhatsApp for Android are now prevented from capturing the screen when viewing another user's profile photo.
• Users can still take screenshots on WhatsApp on the beta and stable versions for iOS.
• Media reports said that WhatsApp has blocked profile image screenshots on Samsung smartphones citing the device's security policy.

How much is safe:

• It is not a given that no other user will be able to save your image despite the feature that allows you to prevent screenshots of your profile picture.
• This is what we're saying because this feature won't prevent someone from taking a screenshot of that screen with a different smartphone.
• Similarly, WhatsApp does not prevent screenshots when you tap on a user's profile photo in the main chat list; instead, you see a small thumbnail.
