Facebook adds new screenshot update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats

Facebook has introduced new features to its end-to-end encrypted chat function on Messenger, chief of which is the screenshot notification.

According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday, those who use the optional chat function will now “get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message.”

GIFs, stickers, reactions, and long-press to reply or forward messages have also been made available for end-to-end encrypted chats.

End-to-end encryption is used to keep personal conversations safe from hackers and criminals.

Messenger gives users the option to use functions like “disappearing messages” wherein a timer is used to control when messages would expire in a chat.

Users can also secure and video calls with this same technology.
