Does Messenger notify the other person when you take a screenshot of a conversation or a message? I’m curious if there is any way for them to be alerted when a screenshot is captured.
A setback with Messenger is that it does not notify users when someone takes a screenshot of a conversation. This means that there’s no way to know if your messages have been captured by someone else.
Generally, no, Messenger does not notify the other person when you take a screenshot of a conversation or message. This applies to regular conversations.
Exceptions:
- Secret Conversations: If you’re using the secret conversation feature, both parties will be notified if a screenshot is taken.
- Disappearing Messages: Messenger is developing a feature to notify users when someone screenshots disappearing messages, similar to Snapchat.
Important to Note:
- Even without a notification, be mindful of what you share online.
- For enhanced privacy, use the secret conversation feature or avoid sharing sensitive information.
