WhatsApp to Unveiled privacy feature restricting profile picture screenshots on iOS

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will prevent users from taking screenshots of profile photos on iOS devices. Meta-owned instant messaging app is going to take this step to strengthen privacy. Here we are telling you in detail about the alleged features of WhatsApp.

WABetaInfo The screenshots shared suggest that a message will inform users that capturing screenshots of profile photos has been banned within the app to protect the privacy of all users.

This feature aims to strengthen privacy by preventing users from capturing and spreading profile photos of other users without their express consent. However, according to the report, individuals can still use alternative devices or cameras to capture the photo. The in-app ban on screenshotting is expected to significantly reduce unnecessary sharing of profile photos.

This upcoming WhatsApp feature is set to play a key role in reducing the risk of profile photos being misused or spread without permission by preventing users from taking screenshots. It has been claimed in the report that currently work is going on on this feature. This is expected to be included in an upcoming update of the app.

Along with this, WhatsApp is reportedly testing another feature to enhance the user experience on the Android platform. This new feature called “Filter” will provide users with a separate tool to quickly compile a list of their favorite contacts and groups right from the Chat tab. This addition will provide users with a better communication experience by providing easy access and prioritization of specific chats with favorite contacts and groups.
