Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, which owns Facebook, is warning Messenger users not to take screenshots of their chats. Messenger is a messaging app that allows people to send disappearing messages, meaning the messages vanish after a specific time.
Zuckerberg announced that a new update will notify users if someone takes a screenshot of a disappearing message. The update also includes the addition of GIFs, stickers, and reactions to encrypted chats.
He shared an example of the notification in action, using a playful exchange between him and his wife. The feature is similar to what is already available on Snapchat, where messages and images disappear after a while.
The Messenger platform recently introduced the option for users to set their messages to disappear, adding an extra layer of privacy to their conversations.
