WhatsApp, the messaging platform with more than 2 billion active users worldwide at the moment, sends everyone an extremely important official announcement, and this is because it brings to their attention a very important functionality that protects the content sent to us with restriction of view.
WhatsApp has implemented in the application for iPhone and Android a new special function that gives us the possibility to send pictures and video clips that can be seen only once by those who receive them, after which they disappear, but there is a problem with the fact that they could screenshots should be taken to save them.
WhatsApp has found a solution for this problem, and prevents the taking of screenshots for pictures and videos sent with viewing restriction only once after they have been opened, so we can no longer take screenshots when we open them to see them in iPhone and Android.
The solution that WhatsApp Messenger has implemented is intended to protect our images against copying and sharing, something that of course happened several times, and something that upset a lot of people, but here things have changed in good for the billions of people who now use the app.
WhatsApp Messenger has this functionality officially implemented for users all over the world already, so if you want to send pictures that can be seen only once when they are opened, you can rest assured that it is no longer possible to capture screen in the application.
