Messenger users, you have been warned about taking screenshots of chats. Because if you do, Facebook will inform the other person about your action.

“New update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message," Zuckerberg highlighted on his Facebook page.

As you might be familiar, chats in this mode vanish the moment they are read. But if a person takes a screenshot of the said message, you still have a copy of the text sent. The new change ensures people are alerted about such moves.

He even showed an example of how this works, using a chat sent to him by his long-term partner, Priscilla Chan, who decides to take a screenshot of a message sent by Zuckerberg when the Disappearing Message feature was activated. As advertised, he got an alert about her taking the screenshot, giving users a glimpse of how the feature will work for them publicly.
