You can no longer take screenshots on WhatsApp! All my saved chats are wasted

Most of us have a dedicated folder for screenshots and most of it are WhatsApp screenshots. Let's be honest, we save it for various reasons. But as part of the company's security changes, a new authentication feature, if enabled, will prevent users from taking screenshots, according to WabetaInfo.

According to Economic Times reports, WhatsApp is reportedly testing a new fingerprint feature that when enabled would require the users' fingerprints to access chats. So others cannot view or read your private messages. However, if enabled, users can no longer take screenshots!

The Android beta version 2.19.106, tested by WabetaInfo, said, "We do not know why WhatsApp decided to prevent screenshots when fingerprint is enabled."

It also provided a screenshot of an alert that read: "Fingerprint security - When enabled, fingerprint is required to open WhatsApp and conversation screenshots are blocked. You can still reply to messages from notifications and answer calls if WhatsApp is locked."
