WhatsApp beta for Android introduces a feature blocking profile picture screenshots to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse, aligning with similar restrictions in apps like Snapchat and payment platforms.

This move aims to enhance user privacy and security by limiting impersonation risks. The feature is currently being tested by a select group of beta users and is expected to be available to all users soon.

This initiative follows WhatsApp’s prior decision in 2019 to prevent users from downloading profile pictures of others.
