Facebook- owned messaging app , Whatsapp is introducing a new update which will prevent its users from taking screenshots of their private chats if enabled .
That is not all . WEBetaInfo also reports that another update (a fingerprint authentication security feature ) is working on will have users scan their fingerprint to access chats.
The screenshot from WABetaInfo shows ,
“ Fingerprint security – When enabled , fingerprint is required to open WhatsApp and conversation screenshots are blocked .
“ You can still reply to messages from notifications and
answer calls if WhatsApp is locked .”
Whatsapp security update
“ This new feature has already begun to generate mixed feelings. ‘We do not know why WhatsApp decided to prevent screenshots when fingerprint is enabled , and personally. I don’t know if users like the idea , '” WABetaInfo wrote.
It is not yet known if this new feature will apply to Andriod users
or iPhone users or both of them .
The good side is , they are also set to introduce new animated
stickers. Recall that earlier in the month , Whatsapp announced
via a statement that a new feature to stop people from
automatically adding people to group chats is underway . This, it
stated, will limit the abuse and improve the terms of privacy.
