WhatsApp has begun rolling out a security feature that stops users from taking screenshots of their profile photos in keeping with its goal of enhancing privacy. For the majority of WhatsApp Beta testers, the screenshot-blocking capability has been accessible since February 2024.

WhatsApp is reportedly pushing out a feature that allows Android beta testers to filter chats, according to a report from WABetaInfo. The app’s update version 2.24.6.16 has the feature available.

According to Android Police, regular users have started to notice the functionality after WhatsApp pushed a server-side upgrade.

1. Default screenshot blocking

After testing the WhatsApp Beta screenshot-blocking feature, we discovered that it is activated by default and cannot be disabled. A blank screen will appear if you try to capture a screenshot of anyone’s profile photo. A notice explains why you are unable to snap a screenshot on the beta version.

Many years ago, WhatsApp disabled the option to store screenshots, but this was essentially useless because anyone could just take a screenshot of any visible profile image. The screenshot-blocking on WhatsApp ought to permanently resolve this problem.

Nevertheless, while visiting a contact’s profile or the chat page, you can still capture screenshots of their profile thumbnails. Even though the thumbnails will have a much reduced resolution, they might still be sufficiently clear, particularly when viewed on the profile preview screen. You can always change the visibility of your profile photo or decide not to have one at all if this worries you.

2. WhatsApp Security is prioritized

An additional deterrent against WhatsApp scammers should be the blocking update for profile photo screenshots. Since that profile photos are typically private images that you might not want in the wrong hands, it should help improve privacy. You’ll be in greater control of who sees your photo, which will lessen the possibility of someone using it for improper purposes or to impersonate you.

3. Filter chat feature

The messaging software is now offering two filters: one that shows users a list of their group chats, and the other that only shows unread messages. Additionally, the report notes that these filters are positioned beneath the app’s top bar.

The report claims that WhatsApp will soon include a new row at the top of the conversation list that will include chat filters. With these steps, they will be able to filter the chat list so that it only shows conversations of a particular kind.

Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs.
