Facebook Notifies When Someone Saves A Message In Vanish Mode, Here's How!
JAKARTA - Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has warned Messenger users that their friends will soon be able to see if they've taken a screenshot of a chat on Messenger.
For users of messages disappearing in Messenger or 'Vanish Mode', be aware that your messages may not disappear completely. This warning comes from the CEO of Meta Platform Inc, Mark Zuckerberg, who issued the warning via his Facebook, which was also quoted by DailyStars.
After announcing that all Messenger chats can be encrypted, just like WhatsApp, Zuckerberg said in a post that people should be careful if they take screencaps when Disappearing Messages is enabled.
Disappearing Messages are texts that disappear automatically. This feature can be enabled in your Messenger settings. However, if you or a friend take a screenshot of the disappearing text chat, there will be a notification of that action. Because this means a copy of your chat will remain even if the message has disappeared in the app.
"New update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get notified if someone screenshots a missing message," Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook profile. "We've also added GIFs, stickers, and reactions to encrypted chats as well."
