Mark Zuckerberg warns users not to take screenshots on Facebook Messenger

Mark Zuckerberg, the man behind social media Facebook announced implementing changes, including vanishing messages, just like the option offered by Snapchat, that lets users send messages that appear right after being sent.

Among the rest, Zuckerberg warned users not to take screenshots on Facebook Messenger unless they want others to know they did.

“New update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message,” he posted on the social media.

“We’re also adding GIFs, stickers, and reactions to encrypted chats too,” he added.

According to The Independent, the feature has been initially introduced in the United States, with plans to implement it in other countries in the weeks that followed.

Facebook made this move amid speculations regarding the amount of security it offers to its users.

“When are you guys adding the dislike button? We need answers…”, one user wrote in addition to Zuckerberg’s post. Another added: “Maybe it can figure out how to feed the hungry or better, heal all the mental illness caused by these platforms, or maybe house the homeless. Can it do any of these?”

Many posted ways of tricking the screenshot notice on Facebook Messenger.

“Screen recorder will do I guess,” someone commented.

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

“Now we will use another mobile for capturing photos instead of screenshots,” agreed on a third.

“You turn the wifi and data off, then you take the screenshot. You turn it on again, and you keep messaging like a hero,” added a fourth.

There were those who believed that Facebook should pay more attention to other aspects of the social media site.

“I have to say, what you’ve accomplished IS super cool. However… I wish the same energy was put into making REAL LIFE better for humanity instead of the virtual one. Nothing will ever be better than human-to-human connection & interaction,” one person wrote.

The changes will also apply to Instagram, which is owned by Meta.
