Facebook’s social media founder, Mark Zuckerberg, announced that the company would be making changes, such as allowing users to send messages that vanish as soon as they are sent, similar to Snapchat’s feature.
Zuckerberg cautioned Facebook Messenger users against taking screenshots unless they wanted other people to know they did.
He shared on social media, “New update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message.”
He continued by saying, “We’re also adding GIFs, stickers, and reactions to encrypted chats too.”
The Independent claims that the feature was first made available in the US and that plans are in the works to expand its use to other nations in the coming weeks.
Facebook took this action in response to rumors about the level of security it provides to its users.
“When will the dislike button be added, guys? In addition to Zuckerberg’s post, one user commented, “We need answers….” Another said: “Perhaps it can figure out how to house the homeless or, better yet, cure all the mental illnesses brought on by these platforms. Is it capable of any of these?
Numerous people shared methods for evading Facebook Messenger’s screenshot notice.
“I suppose a screen recorder will work,” someone said.
“What if someone took a picture of the conversation with another cell phone?” Another one was proposed.
On a third, it was decided to use a different mobile device to take pictures rather than taking screenshots.
After turning off the data and wifi, you take a screenshot. A fourth said, “You turn it on again, and you keep messaging like a hero.”
Some people thought Facebook ought to focus more on other features of the social media platform.
“I must admit that what you’ve done is really awesome. But… Instead of focusing on the virtual world, I wish the same amount of effort was directed toward improving REAL LIFE for humanity. One person wrote, “Human-to-human connection & interaction will always be the best.”
Instagram, which is owned by Meta, will also be affected by the changes.
