WhatsApp is testing a new feature that prevents users from taking screenshots of other users' profile pictures. The messaging platform aims to enhance privacy by stopping the downloading and sharing of personal photos without consent. In the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, which is available on the Google Play Store, when trying to screenshot someone's profile pic, a notification pops up saying "Can't take a screenshot due to app restrictions." By limiting screenshot ability, WhatsApp seeks to reduce impersonation and harassment risks. The screenshot block feature is currently limited to some beta testers but looks to roll out more widely in the coming weeks. It enhances privacy by controlling the usage of personal profile pics.
