Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, which holds ownership of Facebook, is advising users of Messenger to refrain from capturing screenshots of their chat conversations.
Messenger, a messaging app renowned for its feature allowing messages to vanish after a certain period, is undergoing an update that aims to reinforce user privacy.
Mark Zuckerberg recently disclosed that a forthcoming update will introduce notifications for users whenever someone takes a screenshot of a disappearing message. This step is intended to raise awareness among individuals about potential breaches of their private exchanges.
Moreover, the update includes the integration of GIFs, stickers, and reaction options into encrypted chats, enhancing the conversational experience.
Zuckerberg offered an illustrative example of the notification mechanism in action, showcasing a playful interaction between himself and his spouse. This enhancement echoes the existing functionality found in Snapchat, a platform recognized for its messages and media content that automatically fade away.
In recent times, the Messenger platform introduced the option for users to activate disappearing messages, further solidifying the security of their discussions. This strategic move aligns with Meta’s commitment to augment user privacy and uphold the confidentiality of their online dialogues.
Earlier, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), recently shared his plans to integrate generative artificial intelligence (AI) into popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
Generative AI has gained popularity with apps like Dall-E, ChatGPT, and Midjourney, allowing users to create various content. Now, major tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Adobe are also incorporating generative AI into their products.
