Since last year you can use the popular email client WhatsApp It allows you to send photos and videos that can only be viewed once, i.e. they self-destruct once our contact has finished viewing everything. When you return to the chat, said photo or video ceases to exist in the conversation and can no longer be seen.
All the while, this feature has had a significant privacy issue, and that’s that WhatsApp lets you take screenshots of photos and videos that we can only see oncealthough this is no longer possible via whatsapp beta.
WhatsApp solves the privacy problem of ephemeral photos and videos
with the latest version whatsapp beta the android it is no longer possible to take screenshots to the photos and videos that we can only see once. If we take a screenshot, we can only save the picture of a black screen.
This novelty was announced last May, along with other privacy improvements that have been made to the application during these weeks, such as silently leaving groups or hiding that you are online.
Now that the block screenshots of ephemeral photos and videos
Even so, we still have to be careful with the photos and videos we send via WhatsApp, because even if the application stops allowing screenshots, this protection measure will not be infallible, and there is always the possibility for someone to take a picture or record a video of what we sent to your mobile.
