A New WhatsApp update seems set to stop people screenshotting their private conversations.
The new feature – which comes as part of a suite of security changes, in line with the app's commitment to privacy – seems strangely integrated.
It doesn't appear to block someone taking screengrabs of your chats, perhaps to avoid them being shared with other people, according to WABetaInfo, the blog that first reported on the changes. Instead, it means that you turn on the app's highest security settings, you won't be able to take grabs of your own.
The change comes as part of an authentication feature that has been long rumoured but is yet to appear within WhatsApp. That feature allows people to set fingerprint access to conversations, adding a further layer of security so that people can't get access to your phone and read or send private messages.
