Why Mark Zuckerberg warns against screenshotting Facebook Messenger chats

Can you see if someone took a screenshot on Messenger?

The update followed another major addition to Messenger: disappearing messages, which automatically vanish shortly after being viewed.

According to reports, Meta introduced the Messenger update partly in response to growing privacy and security concerns. Still, many social media users weren’t convinced the feature would stop people from saving chats.

Zuckerberg’s post racked up more than 94,000 comments, with many pointing out supposed loopholes around the screenshot notification system.

“Screen recorder will do I guess,” one person commented, according to VT.

“What if someone used another mobile phone to take a photo of the conversation?” another wrote.

“Now we will use another mobile for capturing photo instead of screenshot,” a third person added.

“You turn the wifi/ data off then you take the screenshot .. you turn it on again and you keep messaging like a hero,” another user claimed.
