This is how capture locks will work
Several days ago we let you know about the upcoming functions that were going to arrive at WhatsApp soon, predictably throughout this month of August. Theannounced Mark Zuckerberg himself on his Facebook profile and there were a total of three different functions , but all of them focused on privacy.
As the first of them, discovered some time ago in one of the betas, is the possibility to hide the online status when we are connected in the application. A long-awaited function by many and that will come in handy for many people.
The second will allow you to leave a WhatsApp group silently. In this way, when we leave a group, our departure will not be notified. And the last one and the one that interests us is the blocking of screenshots in ephemeral photos.
WhatsApp will not notify us if they try to capture an ephemeral photo
This feature has also been highly requested by users. This is because it didn't make much sense for WhatsApp to allow the photo to be viewed only once, but not prevent you from taking a screenshot of it.
But now we know how it works. Not only in the sense that, when trying to take a screenshot of these temporary or ephemeral photos and videos, the app will block them and indicate that the app has been blocked for more privacy.
The new arrivals
It has also been reported, according to a well-known page that has access to beta features, that this feature will not notify you that an attempt has been made to take a screenshot. In other words, if we try to take a snapshot of an ephemeral photo or video, the person who sent it will not be notified, and the same thing if they try it with ours, it will not be notified either.
The truth is that, for the sake of privacy, from WhatsApp they should rethink this. And it is that it does not hurt to know if someone has tried to capture an ephemeral photo, in addition to blocking the capture. What do you think?
