Whatsapp Now Offers Protection For Your Profile Pictures by Nobody: 11:55am On Jul 01, 2019
Welcome Reader. Popular social network giant owned by Mark Zuckerberg being WhatsApp has released an app update which will stop photo stranger’s or even your close friends from stealing your whatsapp profile pictures.

Before now, you could click on a whatsapp profile picture and choose to copy, save or export the file without the owner of the profile's consent. But things have changed for the better with an update that shows that the WhatsApp company privacy ploicy is more strict and has also removed the feature that allows you to save someone else’s profile pictures.

Aside from screen-shoting munching someone’s profile pic, you’ll no longer be able to save a profile image on whatsapp.

Once you update your WhatsApp to the latest version 2.19.60.26 on beta mode, you will see that profile images or pictures can't be saved again but this won't stop you from saving your whatsapp group image or icons.

So what is your say on it issue??

Even if you save it from whatsapp it usually isn't as clear as the original. So?

Heard the next ban might b permanent. How true is that.
Me I'm scared of reinstalling it o after being temporarily banned. But...damn the original WhatsApp is like nothing to me now...boring to say the least.
