- An Android Authority teardown has revealed that WhatsApp could get screenshot detection for the status feature.
- This comes over a decade after Snapchat first introduced screenshot detection for its stories.
- There’s no sign just yet that WhatsApp will actually tell users when someone takes a screenshot of their status.
WhatsApp has offered the status feature for a while now, following in Snapchat‘s footsteps. Now, it looks like the Meta-owned platform might be copying another Snapchat feature.
