WhatsApp, a popular messaging app owned by Meta, is adding a new feature for iPhones that will make it harder for people to take screenshots of your profile picture.
This is a big step towards protecting your privacy on the app.
If someone tries to screenshot your profile picture, they’ll see a message saying they can’t. This is because WhatsApp wants to give you more control over your online presence. It’s like having a locked door on your profile picture to keep it more private.
Of course, someone might still be able to take a picture of your profile picture with another camera, but this new feature makes it much harder. By making it harder to spread profile pictures around without permission, WhatsApp is showing that they take user privacy seriously.
They’re also working on another cool feature for Android phones. This one will let you easily find your most chatted-with friends in a special “filter” section, so you can message them even faster.
With more and more people worried about privacy online, these changes by WhatsApp are a good sign. They show that the app is committed to keeping your information safe and secure. So, that’s something to keep in mind the next time you chat with your friends and family on WhatsApp.
