WhatsApp allows sending self-destructive messages and will soon block screenshots of this type of message.
One of the problems with sending single messages is the fact that anyone can take a screenshot. This completely defeats the purpose of having this feature.
By him, WhatsApp is working on a way to block it. This feature has been in beta testing for some time now, and now we just have to wait for it to make it to the public version.
There is a simple solution to block screenshots, but it would lead to more problems. Some apps completely block screenshots, but in the case of WhatsApp, that would be a problem.
Therefore, the company has been working a solution that blocks screenshots of messages at oncebut this would allow you to take screenshots of other aspects of the app.
If you get one of these messages and try to take a screenshot, you will get a warning message at the bottom of the screen. Technically, your phone will take a screenshot, but it will be a blank image that will be saved to your gallery. This also applies to screen recording.
