WhatsApp has rolled out a new privacy feature that prevents users from taking screenshots of profile pictures. The move aims to enhance user privacy and security, ensuring that profile images cannot be misused or shared without consent.
This feature, currently being introduced gradually, will automatically block any attempt to capture a screenshot of someone’s profile picture. Users attempting to take a screenshot will receive a notification stating that the action is restricted.
WhatsApp has been continuously enhancing its privacy measures, including features like disappearing messages, view-once media, and chat lock. The new profile picture protection is expected to add another layer of security for users worldwide.
This update will be available in the latest versions of WhatsApp on both Android and iOS.
