From ProAndroid.com we have criticized the WhatsApp function a lot, since it did not make sense that a user could take screenshots of content that, supposedly, can only be viewed once. Now, after many complaints around the world, they pay little attention to users.
I can’t take a screenshot on WhatsApp: new block
The feature is already under development and will be available very soon. The goal is for users unable to capture to single-view media. So far there was no notice or block, something that will change in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp has realized that there is no point in using its feature without this lock, so it is now implementing it. As in many other applications the ability to take screenshots will be blocked. We do not know if the same happens with video screenshots.
For single view content only
Of course, this lock will only be operative in the photos and videos in one view. The standard multimedia content will not undergo any change and you will still be able to save the image or capture it.
If you use the single view function now you can rest easy, because the receiver will not be able to capture or save the content. It is important to indicate that the function is not available today and that it will be implemented in the next scheduled WhatsApp updates.
