09 August 2022
That is coming soon. Two features are coming later this month - the option to leave groups silently and to hide your online status from some users.

    When an app can block you from using your phone how you'd like to use it, its not your phone anymore. Would never install an app that can do this, e.g. snapchat.

      Well thot's be celebrating soon then :D

            The purpose of screenshot blocking is to mitigate, not to prevent. People can always use another device to take photos of a View Once message to circumvent any software restriction. Fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as a secure digital message, just "safer" messages.

                          Koishi Komeiji, 10 Aug 2022when people have another method to bypass screenshot block ... morethis is a waste of time feature because screenshot will still work with many different methods... Devs thinks and Hackers decides!

                            well, I can still make screenshots even when this "new blocking feature" is running...

                              I give this no screen shot thing about 3 months before people start screaming about it. How stupid can Zuckerberg be?

                                  I tried to leave a group chat last week about a school reunion that I'm not really feeling and next day it was like are you not going then? I tried online to find some way to sneak out quietly but no, I might as well have walked up to the lot of them and did a military salute on my way out. This feature sounds sort of useful but way too late.

                                    useless feature being most smart phone owner has multiple phone...........

                                      If they block screenshot, will they also block the person from using other device to snap their screen ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
