Mark Zuckerberg issues warning against screenshotting Messenger app after new update

Back in November 2020, 'Vanish Mode' was introduced to the Messenger app. This allows users to send messages to someone that will disappear after a certain amount of time, a feature similar to those seen in apps such as Snapchat. The feature was first rolled out in the US and a "handful of other countries" and will be "coming soon to more places." In a post from August last year, Facebook explained: “We’ve also updated the expiring message feature within our end-to-end encrypted chats. Another commented: “Thanks for the heads up, Mark! Thank you for not letting us make fools out of ourselves by taking screenshots.”

While someone else said: “Pls add this feature on WhatsApp we want to know if someone takes a screenshot of our conversations.” Others questioned why this feature was necessary though, with one asking what "the benefit" of the feature is. Another joked that Zuckerberg was "becoming a snitch bro." Related links:
