Recently, the news of a new function in the Facebook Messenger was released that many will not like and many others will appreciate it, it is an alert when you take a screenshot of a chat, as reported by El Diario.
Facebook introduced screenshot notifications to the Messenger service as part of a new update.
New update and one of the most controversial
According to the company, users will be able to receive an alert or notification if one of their sent messages has been captured by another user.
The company stated that its primary use is “for” the safety of the users of this social network and announced that the measure will begin to be implemented through Messenger in the coming weeks.
The user will know when a screenshot occurs, as Facebook Messenger will indicate it in the chat so that the sender is aware of it.
This new update is expected to be quite controversial among users.
New stickers and emojis
In addition to screenshots, GIFs, stickers, and reactions have been implemented in end-to-end encrypted chats on Facebook Messenger.
The Meta-owned company also allows replying to specific messages in end-to-end encrypted chats.
To reply to a specific message and for it to appear in the chat, it is only necessary to press it for a long time, just as it happens in WhatsApp.
Users will be able to save videos, images or files that have been received in these encrypted conversations.
Calls and chats
Facebook introduced changes in calls and group chat conversations. The announcement of this feature came in August 2021, with the launch of encrypted video calls in individual chats.
This update of the messaging application includes writing indicators in group chats, to check that one of the participants is writing, something that was only possible in individual chats.
The company announced that verification badges in encrypted chats will also be present.
The purpose of this feature is to help users identify authentic accounts and weed out the ones that are not.
